Abstract

Technology is disclosed for use in diamond processing. Diamond parameter information is obtained and information for numerous diamonds can be aggregated into a database. At least one candidate diamond for potential recutting is identified based on processing the received measurement information by applying logic based on selection criteria stored in the memory. A virtual model is then generated of the at least one candidate diamond based, at least in part, on the received measurement information. The virtual model is analyzed by applying recut criteria to determine a parameter indicative of recut potential and this is output for use in selecting diamonds for a recutting operation. By reducing the requirement to transport diamonds to an analysis site, significant energy, processing, and environmental benefits may be achieved.

Dependent claims

A system for improving efficiency in diamond analysis systems by transforming diamond measurement information into a model for analyzing a candidate diamond, the system comprising:

an interface configured to receive, from a diamond supplier, through a network, measurement information for a plurality of diamonds;
a candidate selection module configured to automatically identify at least one candidate diamond from among the plurality of diamonds;
a modeling module configured to automatically generate a virtual model of the at least one candidate diamond based at least in part on the received measurement information;
and
a recut analysis module configured to automatically analyze the virtual model to determine a recut potential,
wherein the interface is further configured to provide the recut potential to a manufacturer, through the network.
