Debeers DiamondSure

Universal Gemological Laboratory(UGL-USA) has acquired a DeBeers DiamondSure machine to assist us in ascertaining whether a diamond is natural versus synthetic. The machine tests colorless and nearcolorless diamonds to determine whether they need to be referred for higher level testing using the DeBeers DiamondView. 97% of all diamonds will be successfully weeded out with the DiamondSure, with only 3% being referred for futher testing. If you have a diamond that you suspect may be synthetic, let us test it for you.

Can you test colored diamonds as well?

The DeBeers DiamondSure is specifically used for colorless and nearcolorless diamonds, not for Fancy colored diamonds.
