In a groundbreaking development for the diamond industry, De Beers has introduced the AMS Micro, a state-of-the-art machine capable of detecting lab-created diamonds with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
This first-of-its-kind device is set to revolutionise the way diamonds are screened, particularly in large volumes of the smallest melee diamonds.
Unparalleled Efficiency and Accuracy
The AMS Micro has been meticulously developed over more than two years, undergoing rigorous testing to ensure its reliability.
This advanced machine can screen up to 2,500 diamonds per hour within the 0.6mm to 0.9mm size range.
What sets the AMS Micro apart is its ability to automatically separate natural diamonds from lab-grown diamonds and other materials with a 0% false positive rate and a referral rate of less than 3%.
Key Features of the AMS Micro
- High Throughput: Capable of screening up to 2,500 diamonds per hour, making it ideal for processing large volumes efficiently.
- Size Range: Specially designed to handle diamonds in the 0.6mm to 0.9mm size range.
- Accuracy: Boasts a 0% false positive rate, ensuring no natural diamonds are mistakenly identified as lab-grown.
- Low Referral Rate: With a referral rate of less than 3%, the AMS Micro minimise the need for further inspection.
KGK Suisse: The First to Adopt AMS Micro
KGK Suisse, a renowned name in the diamond industry, is set to be the first recipient of this revolutionary instrument. The adoption of the AMS Micro by KGK Suisse signifies a major step forward in ensuring the authenticity of diamonds in the market, providing their clients with the highest level of assurance in diamond quality.
Implications for the Diamond Industry
The introduction of the AMS Micro is poised to have far-reaching implications for the diamond industry:
- Enhanced Trust and Transparency: With the ability to rapidly and accurately screen large volumes of diamonds, the AMS Micro will bolster trust and transparency in the diamond market.
- Operational Efficiency: Diamond processing facilities can significantly increase their efficiency, reducing the time and labour required for diamond screening.
- Market Integrity: By ensuring that only natural diamonds are marketed as such, the AMS Micro helps maintain the integrity and value of natural diamonds.
Conclusion
De Beers' AMS Micro represents a significant technological advancement in the diamond industry.
Its ability to rapidly and accurately screen small melee diamonds for lab-created counterparts ensures greater market integrity and consumer confidence.
As KGK Suisse leads the way in adopting this cutting-edge technology, the diamond industry can look forward to a future of enhanced efficiency and trust.
For those in the diamond trade, keeping abreast of such technological innovations is crucial. The AMS Micro not only sets a new standard for diamond screening but also exemplifies the ongoing commitment to quality and transparency that De Beers continues to champion.
