Swiss Gemmological Institute Revamps Reports and Launches Mobile and Chinese Sites

(IDEX Online News) – The Swiss Gemmological Institute (SSEF) yesterday (Wednesday) announced that it had changed the look and design of its Diamond Grading Reports, Gemstone Reports and Test Reports in order to make them easier to read.

While the content of the Gemstone and Test Reports remains unchanged, the SSEF Diamond Grading Report has been slightly modified and now contains more information about the quality of the diamond being graded.

The reports for round brilliant diamonds now also include the SSEF cut grade, with the term "excellent' designating the highest quality for the cut grade, the symmetry and the polish. In addition, they now report the type of diamond as an additional comment.

As well as updating its reports, the lab has introduced a Chinese-language version of its website www.hk.ssef.ch. The site is available both in traditional and simplified Chinese and was launched in response to strong demand for SSEF's gem testing services in Hong Kong and greater China

SSEF has also released a mobile version of its English-language website at www.ssef.ch/mobile. "Many of our clients told us they would like to have access and remain informed about SSEF's services and gemmological news while they are on the road. With our mobile website, they will now be able to do so," said SSEF director Dr. Michael S. Krzemnicki.
