DCLA Offers New Damage Assessment and Recut Service

DCLA now offers a precise recut assessment service on poorly finished, chipped, broken, and otherwise damaged diamonds.

The popular belief is that diamonds are indestructable, but the fact is that diamonds can, and do in fact break, chip, or endure other such damage like abrasions and bruising. In most cases, the damage is repairable; DCLA has advanced equipment and specialised software to provide a comprehensive damage assessment report, and recut analysis, on damaged diamonds.

On request, DCLAwill have the diamond recut or polished. This service is available to the trade, members of the public, and insurers requiring salvage assessment.

DCLA welcomes new Director

After seven years at the helm, the outgoing directors are handing over control of the DCLA. The appointment of Ms Anna Wojcieszek as the new Laboratory Director marks the next phase in the laboratory’s growth.

Ms Wojcieszek has extensive diamond grading experience and spent several years in Gemmology and Client Development through the E.G.L USA Group in Canada. Holding a degree from the University of British Columbia, and studies at the Canadian Institute of Gemmology within the International Accredited Gemmologist (CIG) Diploma program which earned her the designated title of Diamond Expert (CIG), Ms Wojcieszek assumes responsibility for the DCLA.

The DCLA looks forward to continuing to provide unparalleled service as Australia’s foremost diamond grading laboratory.
