Diamond Authenticity Testing (Four C’s)
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing comprehensive diamond authenticity testing services that ensure the integrity and value of your precious gemstones. Our team uses advanced technology to examine and authenticate diamonds based on their four key characteristics: carat weight, color, clarity, and cut (collectively known as the Four C’s). These tests are crucial for ensuring compliance with international standards, protecting consumer rights, and maintaining trust in the jewelry market.
The process begins with a detailed visual inspection using 10x magnification microscopes to identify any visible internal or external imperfections. This step is followed by precise weighing on state-of-the-art scales that are accurate to within 0.0001 carats. Next, our color-grading experts use standardized light sources and viewing conditions to classify the diamond’s color according to internationally recognized standards such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Clarity assessment involves examining the diamond under 10x magnification using a polariscope and other specialized tools. This process helps in identifying any internal or external flaws that could affect the stone's transparency and brilliance. Finally, cut evaluation focuses on how well the facets of the diamond are arranged to maximize light reflection and overall aesthetic appeal.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 17239:2018, which sets out guidelines for the gemmological analysis of diamonds. By following this standard, we ensure that each test is conducted under controlled conditions with consistent results. This approach not only enhances accuracy but also provides peace of mind knowing that your investments are safe from fraudulent claims.

Benefits
Conducting diamond authenticity tests brings numerous benefits beyond just ensuring product quality. Firstly, it protects consumers by preventing the sale of synthetic or treated stones as natural diamonds. Secondly, it supports manufacturers and retailers in maintaining their reputation for offering genuine products. Thirdly, it aids in compliance with regulatory requirements set forth by various bodies worldwide.
For instance, if you're a manufacturer dealing directly with suppliers, this service can help verify the quality of raw materials before they enter your supply chain. On the other hand, retailers benefit from having reliable evidence that supports their claims about diamond quality when marketing products to customers.
