And we continue to provide this service to all retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers certifying their diamonds, gemstones and finished jewelry with the GCAL laboratory.” 

Angelo continued, “with the impact of the 8X® diamond cut grade on the industry. 8X certification is a visual, scientific and accurate demonstration of a diamond’s brilliance, fire, scintillation and beauty. The 8X digital certificates, featuring the 360-degree video, play a critical role in retail sales success.”

Here is a demonstration how this technology will work with the 8X digital certificates.

“The association between both companies was possible because we believe in a similar ideology- where integrity and customer satisfaction is foremost,” said Vasudev Ankoliya, V360 CEO and founder.

The V360 camera, rotating stage, lighting control and software combine to create a virtual diamond and jewelry consumer shopping experience by providing a realistic view in a virtual environment, Ankoliya said. Retailers’ and customers can digitally assess the diamond or piece of jewelry from anywhere in the world. Users need only to place, preview and scan. It talks seconds to scan a diamond, he added, and the result is ready to share with anyone on any platform. Turnaround time for 360-degree videos of gems and jewelry is 24 to 48 hours.
