Gemory, a company located in the Silicon Valley of California is using nanotechnology to permanently inscribe high resolution photos on a diamond to allow customers to personalize their diamond jewelry.
Jeweler Jay A. Mednikow of J.H. Mednikow & Co. said of the process, "The GIA has been inscribing microscopic certificate numbers on diamonds for years. Gemory's new process allows much more elaborate inscriptions than just numbers on the edge of the diamond, and this quantum leap forward in technology will allow consumers the ultimate in personalization of their diamonds."
The patent-pending PureDiamond™ process utilized by Gemory can inscribe photographs on a diamond in a full range of grayscale tones. While these inscriptions are not visible to the naked eye, they can be viewed using Gemory's portable viewing device, GemmaView™.
Gemory intends to launch the PureDiamond™ for consumers by offering a limited number of inscriptions via auction.
