The Industry wide issue to be addressed
The infiltration of synthetic and treated diamonds into natural diamond pipeline and mixing of these synthetic and treated diamonds into the final consumer jewelry product. This infiltration threatens the foundation of the Natural Diamond Industry which depends on the unwavering trust of consumers in the integrity and rarity of Natural Diamonds.
Industry response to date
To date there has been efforts to address various aspects of identifying mixing of natural and synthetic Diamonds, including machines to identify loose synthetic diamonds and some newer systems to Identify mounted synthetic diamonds.
- Current services do not offer complete diamond / jewelry pipeline evidence and assurance of final consumer delivered product.
- Current services do not provide retailer with indemnification against consumer claims.
- Current Services ID process is geared towards low volume / high costs of high value center stone diamond.
- Current Services highlight the problem instead of focusing on preserving and enhancing the Natural Diamond and Retailer Brand.

Fraudulent Replicas* of Certified Diamonds
How can consumers and jewelers know that loose or mounted diamonds with reports, have been identify and certified?
Based on the data contained within almost all diamond certs, it is relatively easy – especially with round diamonds – to manufacture identical replicas of certified diamonds. These replicas can be made from either HPHT treated or synthetic diamonds. The Fraudulent Replica will then replace the original diamond and will be sold with its authentic certificate. AG&J proposes Jewel-Ident system as the solution, which applies to both mounted and un-mounted diamonds!
