Presidium Instruments has launched the OTi, a handheld diamond verification instrument, which aims to enhance the efficiency of identifying colorless diamonds from synthetic and simulant counterparts.
The end result promises to improve operational efficiency for jewelers plus increase consumers’ confidence in their gemstones.
Key features
The OTi employs dual technologies, combining optical and thermal testing within a single probe. This dual approach facilitates rapid, on-the-spot validation of diamonds, distinguishing natural colorless diamonds from CVD/HPHT lab-grown diamonds, moissanites, and other common diamond simulants such as glass, sapphire and CZ.
The device is priced at $1349, which Presidium say should make it accessible for a wide range of businesses within the industry. Find out more at the Presidium website.
