De Beers said that its subsidiary International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR) will present information about the upgraded Diamondview at the GIA Gemfest in Basel.
The company's statement says that the device generates a fluorescent image on the surface of any stone being inspected, providing information about the history of the stone's growth, through which synthetic diamonds can be identified.
The modified Diamondview tool includes an easy-change filter designed to facilitate the user's interpretation of fluorescent images and the detection of synthetics.
IIDGR President Jonathan Kendall said: "This modernization of the DiamondView is the last step in our continued investment in synthetic diamond detection technology and in strengthening consumer confidence," said IIDGR President Jonathan Kendall. diamonds is critical, so we are pleased to present an update for DiamondView and will continue to invest in technology to maintain confidence in diamonds throughout the value chain.

De Beers also noted that the addition of filtration to the fluorescent image can enhance the specific features of the synthetic stone, which facilitates its detection.
