Sarine Reports: How to Effectively Tell (and Sell) the Diamond’s True Story

When a couple visits a jewelry store to buy a diamond engagement ring, they are not just buying a stone. They are purchasing a dream of commitment, and a symbol of love and eternity.

They are also ‘buying’ the diamond’s provenance and unique history, as well as its features and data, including the 4Cs, light performance, and market value.

For these consumers, getting trustworthy, accurate, and verifiable information about their diamond is as important as the way it sparkles. That’s where Sarine Reports enter the retail floor.

Diamond Reports: Show the Data, Tell the Story, Sell the Dream

The concept of the 4Cs began in the 1940s and eventually became a key part of the consumer experience and diamond buying decision.

For decades, the 4Cs printed report has been the standard tool used by retailers to explain a diamond’s characteristics to customers and convince them of the sale. However, it is no longer enough.

Demand for traceability, the digitization of the shopping experience, and a more wary and curious consumer personality have led to the development of a new generation of diamond reports that tell a far deeper story.

Sarine reports rely on some of the most sophisticated technologies in use across the diamond manufacturing pipeline:

• Galaxy and Advisor for rough planning and inclusion scanning
• Sarine Clarity and Sarine Color for AI-based grading
• DiaMension for the world’s most accurate cut grading
• Sarine Light for light performance analysis and grading

The data and images gleaned from these technologies are directly embedded into Sarine’s digital reports, giving the consumer unprecedented access to verified information about the diamond, presented in a range of compelling digital experiences.

Let’s take a quick walkthrough the various Sarine diamond reports and how they smooth the path to sales in the retail setting:

4Cs AI Report

The 4Cs – Carat, Cut, Color and Clarity – are the most well-known and sought-after measurement of a diamond’s features and value. However, manual assessment of the 4Cs is a time- and energy-consuming process, subject to the natural bias of the human eye and therefore prone to error.

Sarine’s 4Cs AI Report, also called “e-Grading” is based on artificial intelligence, using advanced algorithms and machine learning to deliver a more accurate 4Cs measurement than can be achieved with human grading.

Benefits for retailers:

• Offers more reliable and precise 4Cs grading than standard reports
• Gives customers an advanced, technology-based assessment of the 4Cs
• Based on the world’s leading and trusted AI-powered diamond grading technologies 

Who Will Value This?

People who want the traditional 4Cs analysis but who are looking for an added dimension of reliability and verification. Particularly effective for consumers who trust technology and look for advanced tech-based products and experiences.

Light Performance Report

Diamonds may have the same 4Cs gradings on paper, yet they appear different depending on their interaction with light. Sarine's Light Performance report is based on Sarine Light technology that analyzes the way the diamond behaves when light is refracted through its structure and reaches the human eye. The Light Performance report provides a powerful perspective of the diamond’s appearance based on 4 parameters: Brilliance, Sparkle, Fire and Light Symmetry, with an overall light performance grade aggregated from these parameters.

Benefits for retailers:

• Goes beyond the 4Cs and gives a deeper explanation of the diamond’s features and appearance
• Assists in explaining the difference in appearance and price of diamonds that have similar 4Cs
• Directly explores the diamond’s unique brilliance and sparkle, which is a key selling point

Who Will Value This?

People who are interested in understanding the unique appearance of their diamond and the way it ‘plays’ with light. Also ideal for those who need a more in-depth explanation about the pricing of a diamond.

Diamond Journey Traceability Report

While many diamonds look alike, each has undergone a unique journey from the mine to the jewelry store. The Diamond Journey Report presents the story of the diamond, from its development deep in the earth over millions of years, to its extraction from the mine as a rough stone, and every step of the process through planning, cutting and polishing. The report provides a visual and textual explanation of the complete journey from rough to polished, in both print and in an immersive, interactive digital format that the diamond owner can experience and refer to whenever they want.

Benefits for retailers:

• Provides a verifiable record of the diamond’s origin and provenance
• Provides powerful documentation of the diamond’s evolution throughout the pipeline
• Helps the customer connect with the diamond along its entire ‘birth’ story
• Enables the retailer to explain the diamond’s unique character and appearance via its developmental journey
• Offers a powerful tool to persuade customers of the authenticity of the diamond
• Enhances the trustworthiness and reputation of the retailer among its customer base

Who Will Value This?

Individuals seeking additional information and support to fully understand a diamond's uniqueness and develop a deeper emotional connection with it, helping them feel confident in their purchase decision. It also appeals to skeptical customers who require absolute verification of a diamond’s origin, as well as those who may not need such reassurance but value the added peace of mind. Additionally, it addresses socially and environmentally conscious consumers who prioritize ensuring their diamond was ethically and sustainably sourced and produced.

Lab-Grown 4Cs Report

Lab-grown diamonds are an increasingly popular choice among diamond buyers, and demand continues to increase. Although their origins are different from natural diamonds, the desire for 4Cs understanding is the same. Customers want to know the accurate cut, color and clarity grading of their lab-grown diamond, to ensure its value and quality. GCAL by Sarine’s 4Cs Lab-Grown Reports offer a range of perspectives and information, including the Premium 8X Ultimate Cut Grade report that distinguishes the very best lab-grown cuts.

Benefits for retailers:

• Enables retailers to offer an accurate 4Cs assessment for lab-grown diamonds in the same way as natural diamonds
• Supports the increasing consumer demand for lab-grown diamond purchases
• Delivers assurance and verification of the value and appearance of LGD for customers during the sales process

Who Will Value This?

The increasing consumer base who are shopping for lab-grown diamonds and want accurate 4Cs information from an official and reliable source.
