General information
- Short Summary
- We are creating a new standard for certifying the transparency of the diamond industry. Our technology allows us to certify the identity and origin of diamonds in accordance with rigorous legal requirements and the expectations of a growing group of buyers to ensure the sustainable development of the diamond industry.
- Full Description
-
We offer Nano Diamonds, a diamond traceability and verification technology that ensures the identification of diamonds from the earliest possible stage of their life-cycle to the end of their existence. We developed an innovative micro-marking system to trace the full history of a diamond from its place of origin. We use a femtosecond laser to produce an indestructible marking inside the diamond. The marking has no negative impact on the value of the precious stone. The marking is invisible to the naked eye and has no negative impact on the value of the valuable stone.
We are able to mark each diamond from the earliest stage – mining in the country of origin. The marking is created by a unique map of features randomly distributed under the diamond’s surface. The stone can be identified and traced at any moment, so its history is completely transparent. Thanks to this, its value and origin are verifiable at every stage of its life: from mining, through cutting and grinding, setting in jewelry, up to purchase by the customer.
A unique marking is introduced to the diamond on an early stage - rough stone. The marking stays within the gem throughout all manufacturing processes and until the polished diamond. Numerous verification points, foolproof authentication algorithm together with transparent ledger allow to track and verify the gemstone.
Behind the development of the Nano Diamonds Technology is a team established at Nanores - a deep-tech company from Poland. The organization has been operating since 2015 and has a team of technology experts and engineers experienced in creating innovative technologies, compounded by having our own laboratory facility in Wroclaw, Poland. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Technology is an disrupting innovation in the diamond market. It creates a traceable global diamond industry ecosystem and ensures transparency in the supply chain. The markings are unique, unforgeable and indestructible. Nano Diamonds technology provides full transparency of the life and origin of stones. It allows to certify the country and place of origin of diamonds meeting new legal requirements and growing expectations of the demanding customer.
Today, diamonds and jewelry products containing diamonds are sold with various ways of certifying their origin and life cycle. These include, for example, certificates attached to the stone specifying the characteristics of the stone (size, cut type, color, cut quality and others) that determine its value. More advanced methods of certifying the origin and identification of a stone are various types of laser inscriptions located, for example, on the diamond's brim or in various places on the diamond's surface.
No existing solution makes it possible to verify each stone individually and its origin from the moment of mining to the end of its life. Our diamond identification technology makes it possible not only to certify a stone's physical properties and quality, but also to certify its identity and origin, and to track its entire supply chain and processes in detail. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
