  • Publication number: 20240257156
    Abstract: A computerized system for determining the authenticity of a diamond comprises a computerized certification system and a computerized authentication system. The computerized certification system is configured to certify a diamond by generating diamond reference characteristics, using one or more physical characteristics of the diamond measured during a certification phase, and writing a visual code in or on the diamond, using a beam writing system. The computerized authentication system is configured to authenticate the diamond by generating diamond verification measurements, using one or more physical characteristics of the diamond, measured during an authentication phase, capturing the visual code of the diamond, and comparing the diamond verification measurements and the diamond reference characteristics, using the visual code captured from the diamond.
