Synthetic Gemstone Identification Testing
In today’s fast-moving consumer goods market, ensuring product safety and compliance with international standards is paramount. Synthetic gemstones are a prime example of innovative materials used in jewelry and accessories, offering affordability and sustainability while mimicking the characteristics of natural gems. Identifying synthetic gemstones accurately is crucial for manufacturers to ensure their products meet legal requirements, maintain brand integrity, and safeguard consumer health.
The synthetic gemstone identification process involves several sophisticated techniques that can differentiate between genuine and artificial stones. Commonly used methods include spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). These analytical tools provide precise molecular data that cannot be replicated in a laboratory setting by counterfeiters.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory uses advanced equipment such as the Thermo Scientific ARL Innov-X DigiFlex XRF spectrometer for elemental analysis, the Bruker Senterra Raman spectrometer for vibrational spectroscopy, and PerkinElmer Lambda 9 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer to analyze light absorption characteristics. Each method has its strengths, making them indispensable in our comprehensive testing protocols.
Once samples are prepared according to industry standards (ISO 17025 for laboratory proficiency), they undergo a series of tests designed to identify specific chemical compositions and structural features unique to synthetic gemstones like cubic zirconia (CZ) or sapphire simulants. By comparing the spectral data against known reference materials, we achieve high accuracy rates exceeding 98%.
Our rigorous testing ensures that clients receive reliable results which help them maintain competitive edge by avoiding liability issues related to mislabeling or selling potentially harmful products. This service contributes significantly towards protecting consumers from purchasing inferior goods or those containing hazardous substances such as lead or nickel.
