Sundance Diamonds announced launching a diamond testing service in the Brink’s office of the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan, Israel. The venture will help identify if HPHT processing can increase the value of a diamond to a colourless, near colourless, or fancy pink, yellow, or orange colour. %% The service is available at no cost, yet it is exclusive, as it attends queries by appointments only. This is the second testing faicility launched by the company this year, the first being opened in January 2008, in New York City. %% “By opening a testing facility in Israel, the company can better serve these customers by providing a valuable tool to help maximise diamond value and margin,” said Carlos Cornejo, customer manager at Sundance Diamonds. The formal opening of the facility will be on October 30, 2008, hosted by Sundance representatives, Jim Littman and Carlos Cornejo, inviting all bourse members. %% “Through its exclusive Sundance technology, customers will now have the advantage of knowing the diamond type of each submitted stone and an estimate of the final result of HPHT before committing to processing,” added Jim Littman, director of business development at Sundance Diamonds. The facility will provide the Sundance customers with a one-stop service, making testing and shipping of diamonds very easy. All HPHT processing is handled at the Sundance Diamonds headquarters in Orem, Utah. Sundance Diamonds holds a reputation for its ability to improve the colour/value of most low-color higher clarity (VS and above) diamonds. Natural brown and cape diamonds can be permanently transformed into a variety of colours from colorless to Fancy Intense yellow, pink, and green.
