Laboratory Journey
Of A Diamond

Every diamond tells a story of brilliance & each SGL report represents more than a grade; it’s a complete analysis of your diamond’s identity.

Here’s how every diamond is examined before receiving its

official SGL certification

Carat Weight

Carat Weight

Your diamond is first placed on a high-precision Mettler Balance to determine its exact carat weight, down to the smallest decimal.

Gem ID Diamond Fingerprint

Gem ID – Diamond Fingerprint

We capture a unique digital “DNA” of your diamond by mapping its optical and structural features, ensuring it can be accurately identified forever.

DiaScreen AI - Loose Diamond Screening & Sorting

AI-powered DiaScreen distinguishes natural from lab-grown diamonds using photoluminescence.

FTIR – Spectroscopy

FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), where infrared light interacts with its atomic structure & examines the diamond’s atomic bonds and nitrogen aggregation states.

Proportion & Geometry Analysis

A precise 3D scan measures every facet and angle, determining how perfectly the diamond is cut and how brilliantly it sparkles.

Light Performance Analysis

SGL analyses how light travels through your diamond, measuring its Fire, Brilliance, and Scintillation to translate beauty into precise, measurable performance.

Colour Grading – Human Vision, Calibrated Precision

Your diamond’s colour is evaluated under controlled daylight conditions against master stones, ensuring accurate and standardized grading from D (colourless) to Z.

Clarity Grading

Clarity Grading — Purity Under the Microscope

Expert analysis under 10x magnification identifies inclusions and blemishes to establish clarity grade.

Fluorescence Behaviour Under UV Light

Fluorescence is evaluated under UV light to understand how the diamond appears in varying lighting environments.

UV Light Analysis
Plotting Mapping

Plotting Mapping the Diamond’s Internal Blueprint

A precise diagram maps every inclusion, forming a transparent and traceable visual fingerprint of the diamond.

Laser Inscription – Permanent Mark of Identity

The diamond's girdle is laser-inscribed with its SGL certificate number, securely linking it to the report.

Laser Inscription

360° Imaging Every Angle Captured

Your diamond is photographed from every angle to create a detailed 360° video, allowing you to examine its cut, symmetry, and brilliance with complete transparency.

Certificate Linking & Printing – Final Verification

Verified diamond data and visuals are documented in the SGL Certificate System with a unique report number.
