(IDEX Online) - Las Vegas-based AGS Laboratories has added a digital grading report option to its services. The documents are formatted in the same way as a traditional printed report.
The digital reports live on AGS Laboratories Only My Diamond (OMD), which gives consumers a video of the diamond, an explanation of the 4Cs, the diamond's clarity plot, laser inscription and sharing options.
They can be accessed through the Report Verification function on agslab.com or from display cards in the store, which feature a QR Code link.
According to Jason Quick, AGS Laboratories executive director, the digital documents reduce operational costs for everyone in the supply chain across a variety of processes including shipping, storing and replacing lost documents.
Helzberg Diamonds is already using the first digital documents for its Kalahari Dream collection.
