Opsydia Technology Advances to Secure Identity of Melee Diamonds

(Press Release) Main diamond stability specialist, Opsydia, has honed its sub-surface area laser technology to these an extent that it can now location permanent identifiers in melee diamonds with out affecting their floor polish.

Diamonds that are just .5 millimetres in diameter can have an alphanumeric sequence, coded shape or brand placed beneath their floor to develop a bodily website link to a offer chain record or branded jewellery origin.

This is viewed as an significant advancement for quantity suppliers, who may well be hunting for a unique and forward-wondering methodology to safe their supply chain and defend towards undisclosed synthetics.

Opsydia Main Government Officer, Andrew Rimmer, says: “With this engineering, the all-natural diamond trade has additional options to secure the identity of its products and use sub-area functions to produce ‘fail safes’ within just its supply chain. In the same way, luxury jewelry brands wishing to battle back against counterfeiting may perhaps wish to involve an identifier in a precise pavé diamond and guarantee their prospects that only parts with this nano-scale identity element are authentic.”

The precise abilities of the Opsydia Program allow for for substantial-resolution lines, somewhere around ~1um (.001mm) in width, indicating legible people can be obtained at much smaller measurements in comparison to marketplace-standard surface marking devices. Opsydia has directed this technological advancement to supporting the trade by collaborating with the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) on the newest period of its Assure Diamond Verification initiative. The Assure Program 2., which assesses the relative performance of Diamond Verification Instruments obtainable on the sector, utilises an ‘ASSURE Sample’ of melee stones (like particular person stones of considerably less than 1mm in dimension) to exam each and every machine on its efficiency at identifying and/or recognising all-natural diamonds, laboratory-developed diamonds and diamond simulants.

To help producers, Opsydia has placed one of a kind serial quantities beneath the surface area of all stones in the Guarantee Sample, therefore enabling the creators of Guarantee Analyzed Diamond Verification Instruments to find out which stones their units mis-recognized. This valuable information, which will be available to brands, will permit engineers to strengthen the usefulness of their diamond detection gadgets and will, as a result, profit the trade as it fights for correct disclosure.

Raluca Anghel, Head of Exterior Affairs and Industry Relations at the Natural Diamond Council, suggests: “We are happy to collaborate with Opsydia on this hottest stage of the Guarantee Method as we worth their ongoing commitment to innovation. Being capable to accurately identify melee diamonds, laboratory-grown diamonds and diamond simulants will make it possible for the Assure prograto give increased comments to suppliers and will contribute towards further more mastering, technical development and higher than all, make sure buyer safety.”

Andrew Rimmer provides: “It has been a privilege to guidance the All-natural Diamond Council on the following wave of its Assure Tests Plan. This has been an possibility to display the benefits of Opsydia know-how in a worthwhile undertaking that advantages the whole offer chain.”

The Opsydia Process makes use of a high-precision, ultrafast laser to location logos, alphanumeric sequences or coded styles (recognised as identifiers) beneath the surface of a diamond. This laser is tightly focused only when it passes the surface area of a diamond, thus only generating the identifier at a picked depth with no influencing the surface area problem or polish. It can be utilized beneath the surface of a diamond in a assortment of places, such as the desk or a particular side.

By adapting its methods to match melee and more substantial diamonds, Opsydia is introducing the pure diamond sector to a distinctive methodology for addressing its main challenges, such as improving stone stability, developing daring traceability initiatives and preserving versus fraud, nondisclosure and other counterfeiting problems.

The Opsydia System (approx. 1 metre wide and normal doorway accessible) is centered on reducing edge laser technological know-how formulated at the College of Oxford. It can location one of a kind id capabilities in diamonds and is able of processing 50,000 to 100,000 stones per year in an industrial ecosystem. Encryption methods make certain that each Opsydia method can only create authorised logos or identifiers avoiding counterfeiting and protecting brand name integrity.
