GemEx Systems Inc. has developed an instrument that scientifically records a diamond’s light performance or, essentially, its beauty. The BrillianceScope uses the approach of specifically measuring the light that is returned through the diamond; it provides a scientific and objective method of evaluating a diamond using clear visual images.
The BrillianceScope measures the three components of sparkle:
- White Light (Commonly referred to as brilliance.) The BrillianceScope Analyzer measures the percentage of the diamond returning bright white light to the observer.
- Colored Light (Commonly referred to as fire.) The BrillianceScope Analyzer measures the percentage of the diamond returning bright colored light to the observer.
- Scintillation (“Scintillation is the term used for changing colors, the radiance and sparkle of the rays when the stone is moved or when the light source changes.” Diamond Grading ABC, Varena Pagel-Theisen.) The BrillianceScope Analyzer measures the number of light points and determines how they change from position to position.
These three factors summarize the light performance of a diamond and make purchasing a diamond easy for you, the consumer. Any store that does not offer this certificate with their diamonds is hiding quality.
