Diamond Services is launching its ground-breaking mini Raman Spectrometer at the Hong Kong Jewellery Gem Fair in September, and plans now to offer a U.S. $2,000 introductory discount to those who buy it at the show. The system will be available to the buyers at a price of U.S. $19,500 plus shipping costs, which otherwise costs a standard price of
U.S. $21,500 plus shipping costs.

The desktop-sized device, which has been designed specifically for operation by non-technical personnel in the diamond sector, is able to accurately detect HPHT and CVD lab-grown synthetic diamonds and HPHT colour-treated diamonds, as well as diamond simulants. At its standard price it will cost up to 90 per cent less than the equivalent Raman Spectrometer systems used by the leading gem labs, and will provide individual diamond and jewellery companies with a technological capability that, thus far, has been enjoyed predominantly by well-equipped gem labs.

The system is able to test both mounted and non-mounted stones, and deliver its results in an easy-to-read and interpret format.

Diamond Services will make arrangements for the viewing, demonstration and purchase of the mini Raman Spectrometer during the Hong Kong Jewellery Gem Fair, at its stand in the Asia World Expo (AWE), from September 16 to September 20.

Established in 2012 in Hong Kong, Diamond Services is a developer and provider of gemmological services and technology, committed to the release of one new synthetic diamond detection device per year, it introduced the DiamaPen®, in 2013, the DiamaTest® in 2014 and received an award for the same.
