Founder Zvi Yehuda introduced his first innovation in the diamond industry in 1953, when he was just 16. His pioneering spirit and ongoing passion for innovation lead to numerous inventions that have changed the face of the trade, and even the face of diamonds themselves. In 1982 Zvi Yehuda invented the Yehuda Clarity Enhancement process for diamonds, debuting them in the US in 1988. In 2017 the company introduced the Sherlock Holmes detector for Lab Grown Diamonds.
The Sherlock Holmes is the only affordable detector that checks parcels of many diamonds and multiple diamond jewelry pieces with 100% accuracy within a few seconds. We know how important detecting lab grown diamonds is in order to keep the public trust in the pawn industry, and make it our business to protect all industry professionals, like you, along this chain.
