SYNTHdetect wins JNA awards!
Award
for Industry Innovation of The Year
The
International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR), a member of
De Beers Group, is pleased to announce that its industry-first synthetic
screening device, SYNTHdetect, was awarded Industry Innovation of the Year at
last night’s JNA Awards in Hong Kong.
Launched
last year, SYNTHdetect is the first synthetic diamond screening device to
simultaneously test multiple stones in set jewellery and has the industry’s
lowest referral rate at around 0.05 per cent.
Jonathan
Kendall, President-IIDGR, said: “It’s a real honour to be recognised among our
industry peers with this award, which is testament to IIDGR’s mission to
continually pioneer new innovations to support the diamond trade. SYNTHdetect
has revolutionised synthetic diamond detection for our customers through our
proprietary technology that makes the process of screening synthetic diamonds
extremely simple and efficient.
I
congratulate all of IIDGR’s scientists for their work in developing the
groundbreaking device.”
On
the back of SYNTHdetect’s success, IIDGR last week announced the introduction
of SYNTHdetect XL, a larger version of the original model that provides
additional efficiencies for users, allowing a greater number of pieces of
jewellery to be screened at an even faster rate.
The
JNA Awards short listing process involved three rounds, including a visit by
the judges to IIDGR’s lab in Surat, India, for a demonstration of SYNTHdetect
in action.
Winners
were announced at the JNA Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner during the Hong Kong
Jewellery & Gem Fair. The JNA Awards champion best business practices in
the jewellery and gemstone community by recognising and promoting companies and
individuals that demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovative thinking, and
sustainable and socially responsible strategies, with a focus on their
contribution in Asia, and whose ideas and actions have made a positive impact
in the trade and communities.
