(PRESS RELEASE) HOD HASHARON, ISRAEL — Sarine Technologies Ltd announces that Sarine and NGTC have launched co-branded light performance grading reports and services in Mainland China.
Following an agreement to cooperate on developing new standards for the China market, signed in late 2019, just before the outbreak of the Covid-19 outbreak, NGTC carried out extensive tests on diamonds of various cut qualities using DiaMension HD and Sarine Light. By improving internal test processes and methods, collecting and analyzing test data and communicating with Sarine on a regular basis, NGTC has established a new industry standard for light performance for the China market. The new standard based on the Sarine Light device takes diamond grading standards to a higher level of accuracy and consistency, by expanding diamond classification beyond the standard 4Cs, grading visual beauty in terms of Brilliance, Fire, Sparkle and Light Symmetry. With NGTC’s new co-branded light performance grading report, consumers will be able to attain accurate data on their diamond’s unique beauty and benefit from a higher industry standard.

We value NGTC’s commitment to excellence and its ongoing drive to be at the forefront of innovation. The alliance between us will create a new experience for diamond retailers and consumers, more transparency and facilitate the a more robust diamond consumer market, effectively contributing to the growth of China’s jewelry industry.”
