We thought taking a second photo that didn&#8217;t show inclusions at 40x magnification was pretty pointless.<\/li>\n<li>Replaced the microscopic video with two new types of video. The first is in heavily diffused, fluorescent light. This lighting condition demonstrates both the contrast of a diamond as well as the inclusions. The second video is in overhead fluorescent light and demonstrates what the diamond would look like in real life, or moreover, a jewellery store with bright lights shining directly upon the diamond.<\/li>\n<li>Saved <em>full <\/em>OGI files. Although they are almost 1MB, the smaller version of the OGI files for the 3D web viewer didn&#8217;t show all the facets, causing &#8220;gaps&#8221; in the 3D model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the next few weeks, we will also be making the following changes to our analysis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adding AGS performance grading, using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americangemsociety.org\/ags-laboratories\/jewelry-industry\/light-performance-diamond-cut-grade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AGS Performance Grading Software<\/a>. The AGS cut grading system will hopefully be simple to understand for potential clients and easily be able to identify and categorise weaknesses in a diamond&#8217;s cut.<\/li>\n<li>Adding hearts images for Hearts and Arrows diamonds.<\/li>\n<li>Retiring the OGI Firetrace output. The Firetrace graphs were, at the best of time confusing and downright incorrect. Although there were a few instances that produced results we agreed on, by enlarge, the results were somewhat meaningless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Examples of our new analysis can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/diamonds\/diamonditem.php?code=CXF5669\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/diamonds\/diamonditem.php?code=CXF8462\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The other good news is that the same analysis applies to both our Crossfire range and International Selection!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve updated our diamond analysis methods and in the coming weeks, will be improving it even further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-taking-care-of-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":495,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions\/495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jogiadiamonds.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
