Stargems Group has become the first tender house to incorporate Sarine Technologies' AutoScan Plus, a system that efficiently registers large amounts of diamonds into the Diamond Journey traceability programme.
The tender house said that the diamonds may be traced, with extra measurements taken during the polishing process, from rough to polished.
Stargems chairperson Shailesh Javeri stated that his company is committed to protecting the “future and intrinsic value of natural diamonds.”
He also said that the organisation is committed to providing a solution that complements G7 regulations and environmental, social and governance (ESG) advancements.
Sarine AutoScan Plus, a very efficient rough diamond parcel registration system, is being lauded as an industry paradigm change.
Its improved price, small design, high productivity, and user-friendly operational interface make it a game-changing option.
Sarine Technologies chief David Block said Stargems' integration of the system represents a watershed moment in the diamond industry, demonstrating their dedication to improved traceability.
Following a successful pilot programme in December, cutting-edge technology was used for Stargems' rough diamond items weighing 1.00 carat and above during the just concluded January tender.
“Stargems continues to position itself as an innovative leader in navigating the evolving dynamics of the diamond market,” it said.
