Sarine

Sarine refers to a technology-focused company known for its systems and software that support the diamond and jewelry industry through automated imaging, measurement, and analysis of diamonds. The company specializes in non-destructive evaluation of a gem’s external geometry and internal features, offering digital records that describe a stone’s quality characteristics and physical structure.

Technology and offerings: Sarine’s technology combines high-resolution imaging, 3D topographical mapping, and software analytics to create comprehensive visualizations of a diamond. This includes 360-degree views, internal inclusion mapping, facet measurements, and anomaly detection. The output is a digitized report that summarizes the stone’s geometry, inclusions, and other quality-related attributes, and may be used for verification, sorting, and valuation. The company also provides hardware and software platforms for gem laboratories, cutters, and retailers, often integrated with laser inscription and other authentication tools.

Global presence and use: Sarine operates with a global network of clients in major diamond centers, including producers, manufacturers, traders, appraisers, and retailers. Its offerings are positioned as a means to increase transparency, standardize documentation, and support decision-making across the supply chain. The digital reports are intended to complement traditional gemological grading by providing objective imaging and measurements that can be shared with buyers and auditors.

Impact and reception: In the trade, Sarine’s systems are viewed as tools that enhance quality control, improve communication of gem characteristics, and aid in provenance and risk management. Critics note that automation should supplement rather than replace expert gemologists, and that results depend on calibration, calibration, and proper handling of the evaluated stones.
