Diamond-Type Spotter |
AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR DIAMOND BUYERS WORRIED ABOUT COLORLESS CVD SYNTHETIC DIAMONDS AND HPHT TREATMENTS
Jewelers worldwide are concerned about buying and selling diamonds that have been treated with high pressure, high temperature techniques (HPHT) to remove traces of color and create "colorless" and "near colorless" diamonds, and even fancy colors!
According to expert Antoinette Matlins, P.G., author of Diamonds: The Antoinette Matlins Buying Guide--"Where diamonds are now concerned, unless you can afford to send every stone to a lab, you can't afford not to have an SSEF Spotter. It will save you money, and increase your peace of mind.
"The number of diamonds now in the market that have been transformed into colorless or fancy-colors by HPHT methods is rising, especially in larger sizes and rare colors. My SSEF Spotter is always with me. It's easy to use, fast, and portable. With it, anyone can quickly and easily know when a diamond poses a risk, and when it does not"
This simple spotter, used in conjunction with a simple shortwave ultraviolet lamp, enables you to quickly and easily separate Type II-a diamonds from other diamonds.
