HRD Antwerp & Verichannel Launch Direct Feed Of Diamond Data to Market
May 12, 11(IDEX Online News) - HRD Antwerp and Verichannel announced today (Thursday) the creation of a direct feed of diamond grading data from the HRD lab's computers to Verichannel's online trading platform.
Verichannel's provides diamond traders with the ability to automatically post their diamonds on the Verichannel platform as soon as they are graded. Based on a pre-authorization set by the lab's clients, diamond grading data is available on Verichannel.com within minutes of being graded and results made available, the two said.
Based on the grading results, stone owners can decide in advance if the diamonds will be published on the platform immediately or kept private.
"Verichannel's Lab-Direct technology makes it possible for owners of HRD-graded stones to reach the largest possible market, in the quickest amount of time, and with the maximum of convenience and control," said Georges Brys, general manager of HRD Antwerp.
According to Verichannel CEO Jacques Voorhees, their system is open to everyone in the jewelry industry at no cost. “Anyone in the trade looking for a source of fresh diamonds, or difficult-to-find stones now has an additional resource to help in the process," he said.
