The Vantyghem Diamond Certification and Authentication Plate System™ improves upon the traditional parcel papers used to protect loose diamonds. The thick acrylic plate is laser-etched with diamond specific information regarding cut and quality, as well as tracking numbers. A computer-controlled operation creates the precise void, which presents the diamond upright and is ideal for reviewing under a microscope. The near invisible plate allows the diamond to command attention, and removes the need for tweezers when viewed by potential customers. An outer wrap secures for shipping and storage.
