SmartPro Screen I Diamond/CVD Scanner

The SmartPro Screen I Diamond/CVD Scanner is a portable diamond screening instrument designed to help jewelers, gemologists, diamond dealers, and appraisers distinguish between natural diamonds and stones that may require further testing for CVD or HPHT laboratory-grown origin.

Designed for colorless to near-colorless diamonds in the D–J color range, the SmartPro Screen I accommodates stones weighing from 0.01 to 12 carats. It works with loose diamonds and compatible mounted jewelry, providing an efficient first-stage screening solution for professional diamond evaluation.

Natural and Lab-Grown Diamond Screening

The SmartPro Screen I uses UV light absorption technology to screen eligible natural diamonds, primarily Type Ia, against stones with characteristics associated with Type IIa CVD and HPHT diamonds. Its mercury-free LED light source requires no warm-up time, allowing users to begin testing as soon as the instrument is ready.

The device is manually operated and automatically displays a result in approximately three seconds. Bright LED indicators and audible signals make the outcome easy to recognize during routine screening.

Understanding the results: A "Diamond" indication represents a diamond-screening result, while a "CVD/HPHT" indication identifies a stone that requires further examination. A CVD/HPHT result does not automatically confirm that a diamond is laboratory-grown, as certain natural diamonds may also be referred for additional testing.

Designed for Loose and Mounted Diamonds

Unlike screening instruments that require every gemstone to be removed from its setting, the SmartPro Screen I can also test compatible mounted diamonds. The setting must have an unobstructed opening beneath the stone to allow the instrument's light-based testing process to work properly.

This makes the scanner useful for several professional applications:

• Jewelry retail: Screen eligible diamonds during inventory checks and incoming merchandise inspections.
• Diamond trading: Conduct preliminary screening of loose diamonds before purchasing, sorting, or further examination.
• Jewelry appraisal: Incorporate diamond origin screening into a broader professional evaluation process.
• Jewelry repair intake: Examine suitable mounted diamonds without removing them from compatible open-back settings.

Smart Features for Everyday Testing

The Screen I combines a compact design with convenient operating features for professional use. Its smart touch test switch and laser target pointer help operators position stones for examination, while automatic result indication simplifies the screening process.

• Fast screening: Approximately three seconds per test.
• Laser target pointer: Helps with positioning during testing.
• LED and audible indicators: Provide clear test-result notifications.
• No warm-up time: The mercury-free LED light source is ready for testing without a warm-up period.
• Portable power options: Operates using four AAA batteries or a compatible USB power source.
• Automatic power-off: Shuts down after approximately five minutes of inactivity.
• Battery efficiency: Up to 150 hours of continuous use with alkaline batteries under the manufacturer's stated test conditions.
• Bluetooth-ready: Supports connectivity with the SmartPro mobile application.

Important Testing Considerations

The SmartPro Screen I is a screening instrument rather than a complete gemstone identification system. It is not designed to reliably distinguish diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite from diamonds. Unknown stones should first be evaluated using appropriate diamond and simulant identification methods.

Screening is intended for diamonds within the specified D–J color range. Mounted stones require a clear opening beneath the setting, and any result indicating CVD/HPHT should be referred for additional gemological testing before a definitive conclusion about diamond origin is made.

Complete Your Diamond Testing Setup

For a more comprehensive evaluation process, combine diamond origin screening with appropriate diamond and gemstone testing equipment. Our selection of gemological microscopes can also support detailed visual examination of gemstone features and jewelry settings.

The SmartPro Screen I is a practical addition to professional diamond screening workflows, offering portable operation, rapid results, and the flexibility to examine both loose and compatible mounted diamonds.
