Certified Diamond Brilliance, Fire & Sparkle on Facebook
GemEx introduces a new Facebook App http://apps.facebook.com/livereport/. With the App, the user can show his or her diamond’s Light Performance to their family and friends and share the beautiful diamond that was carefully selected for exceptional Brilliance, Fire and Sparkle.
“There is great excitement when a person purchases or receives a beautiful diamond,” according to Daniel Gordon, President of Samuel Gordon’s Jewelers. “Whether the diamond is for personal wear, given as a gift or for an engagement, people want to let the world know about their beautiful new diamond. With the GemEx Live Report App, Facebook users now have the ability to show live images of their diamond to family and friends around the world.”
The patented GemEx BrillianceScope Analyzer measures individual diamonds for brilliance, fire and sparkle. Once the diamond measurements are approved by GemEx Quality Assurance Managers, the certificate is issued for each diamond. Each and every diamond is individually certified and is available on GemEx Live Report.
The new App is easy to use. Simply go to http://apps.facebook.com/livereport/ and enter the diamond id from your GemEx Certificate. Then you and your friends will be able to see the Light Performance of your diamond on Facebook.
BrillianceScope Tips:
At GemEx, our Quality Assurance Managers review every diamond multiple times to ensure the scan is accurate before the GemEx Certificate is issued. There are many reasons that a scan can be rejected and need to be rescanned.
Here are three of the common reasons for rejection and tips for approval.
Rejected Reason: Bad Separation
This occurs when the default separation is incorrectly set, or when the separation needs to be temporarily adjusted for the diameter)of the stone currently being scanned.
When the separation is not set correctly, the outline of the stone is incorrectly detected. Incorrectly adjusted separation may also cause a scan to be rejected for Wrong Shape.
Please refer to the following document for example images of Bad Separation and instructions to change the separation value by clicking on the link: Adjusting the Separation Value
Rejected Reason: Below Performance Standard
This applies for companies that have minimum performance standards for the diamonds. Examples currently in use are:
- All three scales must be high or better to pass.
- Two of the scales must be at least medium while the third must be high or better to pass, but if any of the scales are very high the other two scales can be anywhere to pass.
If these performance requirements are a regular standard, we can program our Quality Check system to automatically reject scans that do not meet these requirements. Stones rejected for ‘Below Performance Standard’ usually require the stone to be re-cut for better performance, depending upon the company’s policy.
Rejected Reason: Duplicate
Scans rejected for ‘Duplicate’ can be one of two reasons:
- Two or more different scans with the same stone ID were submitted for approval at the same time, so we are unable to determine which scan to make a report for.
- Two or more scans with different stone IDs are actually the same stone rescanned. We believe this typically happens when the BrillianceScope Analyzer operator forgets to put the next stone in before scanning, so the same stone is rescanned.
