RAPAPORT... Secondhand-jewelry buyer Circa has tapped De Beers Group Industry Services to help it authenticate all diamonds in the items it purchases.
Circa will use De Beers detection equipment to test
pieces for synthetics before purchasing, as part of a wider collaboration.
The two will also conduct joint educational consumer events in Asia, Europe and
the US, and will offer diamond-appreciation courses to Circa clients.
“Natural diamonds hold significant inherent value, and Circa
acquires large volumes of pre-owned diamond pieces,” said Circa CEO Oren
Schneider. “Our clients trust Circa’s ability to authenticate their diamond
jewelry, ensure product integrity and recognize the value of natural diamonds.
By partnering with De Beers…we’ll also be able to clearly identify and avoid
buying any diamonds which are not natural at the time they are submitted.”
Correction, November 10, 2019: This article has been updated to state that Circa is a buyer of secondhand jewelry, and not a retailer.
