The EGL USA laboratory recently announced that beginning in July, they will offer a new 360º Diamond Report that presents the traditional industry specifications and measurements for a diamond but features a new measure of light performance.
In addition to the new light performance measure, EGL USA’s 360º Diamond Report assigns a new overall grade for visual appeal. This new grade, called the Diamond’s Natural Attraction (DNA), is a composite of twelve characteristics; seven for cut and proportion, two for polish and symmetry, and three related to the new light performance.
The 360º Diamond Report service utilizes direct light-performance developed specifically for EGL USA by ImaGem Inc., a company specializing in technology for grading and identifying gems. ImaGem’s systems combine advanced optics, imaging technology and proprietary software to automate and integrate diamond grading.
I will be provide addition feedback on EGL USA’s 360º Diamond Report as the service is implemented and we have a chance to evaluate this new entry into the cut grade competition between the diamond grading laboratories.
