SAWCut Ltd, a division of the OGISystems Group – a world leader in technological solutions for the diamond industry-plans to introduce GEMScribe, an innovative, improved, advanced system for inscription on a stone's girdle at Asia World Expo 2010 in Hong Kong this fall.

SAWCut describes the new systems as "powerful, accurate, stable, practical and easy-to-use, and it prides itself on its high performance and on many other exclusive features."

The Asia World Expo 2010 will take place in Hong Kong, on September 14-18. SAWCut's GEMScribe was developed at the company labs in Israel and is "based on new, enhanced, state-of-the-art technology that will allow you to make various inscriptions on the stone's girdle." The Israeli-based company said the system is already being used successfully in several labs worldwide.

Why would someone want to inscribe on a diamond? "There may be a number of motives for inscribing on a stone," explains Marketing and Sales Department Manager, Lior modlin. "To begin with, a company interested in branding its diamonds can inscribe its logo on them. This will give them added value at the purchase.

Other organizations might want to inscribe their serial number on the stone for protection. Moreover, individuals may wish to inscribe a personal dedication or a picture to express their love or friendship. And finally, there are those who would like to turn the diamond into some kind of amulet, inscribing their zodiac sign on it. This, along with the inscribed purchase date, can become part of a family's heritage, as it is passed on to future generations."

GEMScribe, he added, comprises several unique capacities that make it more beneficial and practical than any other devices of the sort. "The system can inscribe on diamonds of different sizes, ranging from 5 points to 1000 carats. Not to mention its exclusive ability to inscribe on some other gemstones, and also on some embedded stones. Furthermore, the size of the fonts, numbers and shapes can range from 20 to 250 microns. And on top of all, the system supports numerous Windows fonts, including Chinese."

GEMScribe has been designed and planned as Plug n' Play, he continued, meaning no special training is required of the client before operating the device. Another important attribute is the fact that the system requires almost no maintenance, a fact which facilitates its employment on a regular basis.
