Why Third-Party Standards Like the ASSURE 2.0 Program Matter
In today’s diamond industry, transparency and trust rely on objective, science-based standards. The Natural Diamond Council’s ASSURE 2.0 Programmes provide an independent, rigorous benchmarking process for Diamond Verification Instruments (DVIs), leveling the playing field for traders, jewelers, and customers. These programmes openly publish how well each device performs in identifying natural and synthetic diamonds, using tough, future-proof test samples and procedures.
What ASSURE 2.0 Testing Means for Industry Stakeholders
Traders & Retailers: Can confidently select the most accurate DVI for their business, using real performance data rather than marketing claims. Results show which tools best protect inventory and reputation.
Jewelers: Know their screening process meets leading industry standards, reassuring clients and supporting ethical sourcing.
Customers: Gain peace of mind that purchased diamonds have been tested with a top-rated instrument, minimizing risks of misidentification or fraud.
