Buy and sell diamonds with the help of the experts
Demand for branding in the Australian diamond market is the reason the DCLA ordered a second of the PhotoScribe cold laser systems. This will ensure fast turnaround time for certified and laser inscribed diamonds.
DCLA continues to be the only laboratory in Australia applying Cold Laser technology, the only laser guaranteed to not damage your diamond.
DCLA, the official CIBJO laboratory for Australia, received the C2 Au Registered National Diamond Master set for Australia. Cibjo, also known as the World Jewellery Confederation, is as a decision-making body whose main purpose is to create and maintain standards and promote cooperation among interconnected jewellery organisations. Among its other functions, Cibjo sets diamond grading policies for its member laboratories, including inspection and registration of diamond master sets.
The Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia (DCLA,) was recently recognized as a CIBJO Registered Laboratory.
This is significant for Australia as it is the first diamond grading laboratory to achieve this recognition, DCLA reported in a statement. The DCLA was established in 2001 to address the standards of diamond grading in Australia.
Australia has a developed retail market and now has a laboratory which is recognized by both the IDC and CIBJO.
PhotoScribe cold laser system is now available in Australia. The DCLA has received the first of its kind in Australia, the latest cold laser technology that allows excellent control during inscription without damaging the diamond.
The service will be offered with all DCLA certificates and as a branding option. This system can perform complex images and two dimensional bar-coding.
