Redefining Diamond Measurement: Automation for Uncompromising Precision
The art and science of diamond setting for fine jewelry and luxury watches has always required uncompromising precision. Whether crafting melee stones for pavé settings or baguette cuts for elegant watch bezels, every facet and every angle must conform to exact specifications. Even a single micron deviation can compromise both the aesthetics and the value of the stone.
In the case of this watch, the entire circumference of the strap is set with diamonds according to a puzzle pattern.
The Challenge: Time-Consuming and Risky Traditional Methods
For decades, the industry has relied on projectors – simple optical measurement devices that magnify the diamond’s silhouette onto a screen. While projectors are widely used, they suffer from two inherent drawbacks:
Operator Dependence: The accuracy of the measurement is determined largely by the skill and experience of the person performing it.
Inefficiency: Each measurement requires time, focus, and repeated adjustments. For small melee or baguette stones, the process becomes slow and labor-intensive.
Compounding the problem is the fact that diamond polishing is irreversible. Once a stone is polished beyond its intended size, there is no way to recover it. The result is wasted material, wasted time, and significant financial loss. To minimize these risks, manufacturers are forced to measure stones repeatedly throughout the polishing process. This necessity created an urgent demand for a fully automated measurement system – capable of handling any shape, any size, and any orientation, without the need to prepare a dedicated measurement program in advance.
The Breakthrough: Automated Micron-Level Measurement
BROSSH Inspection Systems has developed a state-of-the-art optical measurement solution designed specifically for the diamond industry. The system introduces a new level of automation and precision, eliminating the shortcomings of projector-based methods.
Its core innovation lies in its ability to:
Measure in any Orientation: The operator simply places the diamond on the measurement window without worrying about alignment.
Deliver Instant Results: With a single button press, the system generates a complete technical drawing of the stone.
Provide Comprehensive Data: Every dimension, facet angle, and geometric parameter is captured with micron-level accuracy.
This not only ensures absolute confidence in the measurement but also transforms what was once a manual and error-prone task into a fast, reliable, and repeatable process.
The adoption of BROSSH’s measurement technology brings multiple advantages to diamond manufacturers and jewelers including:
- Precision assurance – Prevents over-polishing by providing exact real-time data.
- Increased productivity – Reduces the time needed for each measurement, enabling faster polishing cycles.
- Reduced dependency on expertise – Less reliance on specialized operator skills, making production more scalable.
- Material savings – Protects valuable stones from being wasted due to inaccurate measurement.
- Versatility – Equally effective for melee, baguette, or other shaped stones.
By combining micron-level precision with full automation, BROSSH is transforming diamond measurement from a traditional bottleneck into a streamlined, value-adding process. For jewelers, watchmakers, and diamond manufacturers, this innovation safeguards craftsmanship while delivering measurable business results—protecting margins, enhancing productivity, and securing long-term competitiveness in an industry where precision defines success.
