Gemprint Corp.

Gemprint is an identification system for diamonds that records the unique and subtle distinctions in diamonds, just as fingerprinting does for people. Completely noninvasive, Gemprint technology works by shining a low-powered laser light at a diamond, which is refracted within the diamond and reflected from every facet and internal characteristic. The light coming back from the diamond is a distinct ‘optical fingerprint' – a Gemprint – that is recorded and saved in a database shared instantly among a global network of jewelers, law-enforcement and government officials. Gemprints can be matched and retrieved in seconds. As forensic evidence, Gemprint has been used by the FBI and the Canadian Government since its invention in 1976. The online registry allows consumers to manage their registration, update their contact info, report a diamond lost/stolen, or transfer ownership. Some of the many benefits are: consumer insurance discounts up to 10% from leading insurance companies, positive identification of your diamond, inventory control for jewelers, faster internal and external auditing, loan collateral identification, forensic evidence, increased chance of recovery if lost/stolen, country of origin support for diamonds, high tech revenue stream for jewelers, and true independent auditing of insured merchandise.
