New lab-created diamond detector set to hit market Posted January 20, 2021 | By Arabella Roden ⢠Editor Yehuda Diamond Company has launched the latest model of its Sherlock Holmes device, which can detect both chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) lab-created diamonds.
The release comes amid increasing acceptance of lab-created diamonds in both the broader jewellery industry and among consumers.
Members of India’s Bharat Diamond Bourse recently voted to reverse a long-term ban on trading the stones within its premises, while a report conducted by research firm The MVEye found approximately 38 per cent of US independent jewellery retailers now stock lab-created diamonds, with 80 per cent of consumers aware of the stones – compared with less than 10 per cent in 2012.
