One of the most precise balanceson the market able to measure to the minute value of 1/10,000th of a carat was presented to the Israel Diamond Exchange by Mettler-Toledo representative Lior Streng of Lior Gemology Tools. The balance has the potential to revolutionize diamond weighing with significant impact on quality and cost at this prestigious, world-renowned exchange.

Mettler-Toledo is pleased to announce that one of the company’s most accurate precision balances was presented as a gift to the Israel Diamond Exchange at a recent ceremony in the Bourse’s Technology Hall. This specialized device has the potential to create even greater exactitude in the highly-sensitive area of diamond weighing. Weight is one of the four central characteristics used to determine diamond price. As one of the most precise balances available, the new Mettler-Toledo device weighs to four decimal places past the tenth point by employing a robust blend of features including internal calibration and easy-to-use draft shielding. Features such as these, along with Mettler-Toledo’s long experience designing and manufacturing precision balances, become essential in an industry where the smallest inaccuracy can translate to significant financial loss.

Mettler-Toledo Israeli representative Lior Streng, owner of Lior Gemology Tools and other Mettler-Toledo personnel including jewelry market manager Urs Wolfensberger made the presentation to a distinguished group of Bourse management including IDE president Yair Sahar, Industry Committee Chair Eli Shiri, Diamond Association chair Yossi Ben Zion, Trading Hall Committee Chair Yitzhak Cohen, and General Manager Moti Besser. Mr.Sahar noted the significance of the gift, saying, “We are committed to the most stringent standards of the diamond sector, and even more so when we are talking about diamond weighing machines. I am convinced that members of the Bourse will gain the maximum benefit from this new machine. Many thanks for the donation.”

Mr. Streng said, “The high level of accuracy of the machine guarantees the highest quality and reliability. We are proud and happy to donate this weighing machine to the Bourse.” Lior Gemology Tools can be located online at www.liorgt.co.il
