Endeavours to build confidence in trade and consumers about synthetic diamonds
HRD Antwerp to launch Synthetic Diamond Certificate

With production and availability of synthetic diamonds increasing in the gem and diamond markets, although they make up a small segment, HRD Antwerp has endeavoured to strengthen consumer confidence with a new product - Synthetic Diamond Certificate. The HRD Antwerp Synthetic Diamond Certificate service will be launched from September 2, 2013.

The certificate will be issued for those diamonds that found to be synthetic. HRD Antwerp tests every diamond to determine whether it is natural and if it is found to be synthetic, HRD Antwerp will issue a Synthetic Diamond Certificate.

Complying with IDC-rules, the HRD Antwerp Synthetic Diamond Certificate appears different from the standard diamond certificate and carries writing of “Synthetic Diamond Certificate” on the cover. Each synthetic diamond is laser inscribed synthetic and the presence of the laser inscription is mentioned on the certificate, with a statement that the diamond has been lab-grown. Each Synthetic Diamond Certificate includes the same unique safety features as the standard HRD Antwerp natural diamond certificate.

Also to extend its support for the trade on the subject of Synthetic diamonds, HRD offers the Screening service for HPHT treated and Synthetic Diamonds to help diamond dealers to ascertain that the diamonds in a polished diamond parcel are all natural. The examination is for parcels containing minimum 20 diamonds ranging from 0.05 carat to 0.49 carat and D to L color. Post screening the customer is handed a sealed parcel with “Screening Report” on which it is written ''this parcel only consists of natural diamonds, not synthetic and not HPHT treated.''
