EGL to Seal Stones to Prevent Forgeries or Replacements
June 14, 05
EGL in Israel is purchasing a new system that will allow it to seal diamonds it receives for grading in clear polyester. The seal will carry a sticker with the certificate's details. The company says the new system provides an assurance that the graded diamond has not been replaced.
According to the lab, breaking the seal will cause a message that the seal is no longer valid to appear, adding another level of security.
Guy D. Benhamou, CEO EGL Israel, says the service is very significant when working with the markets in the Far East and parts of Europe, which require the graded diamonds to be sealed.
