About
Sarine Technologies reimagines the diamond industry through a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that add value at every point in the diamond pipeline. For manufacturers, Sarine offers advanced technologies that optimize the value of rough diamonds — including precision inclusion scanning, AI-assisted planning to maximize yield, and automated laser cutting guidance. For retailers, Sarine enhances the consumer buying experience with tools like Light Performance grading and the Diamond Journey traceability narrative, giving customers compelling, data-driven stories about their stones. For grading laboratories, Sarine's automated AI-based grading platform (including GCAL 8X) sets new benchmarks for accuracy, reliability, and consistency in cut, symmetry, color, and clarity assessment. The traceability solution provides verifiable provenance records that follow a diamond from its rough state all the way through to the polished gem, supporting ethical sourcing and consumer trust. Sarine's proprietary AI and computer vision models have been trained on millions of diamonds, enabling grading precision that rivals or exceeds traditional gemological methods. The platform is used by leading manufacturers, retailers, and labs across India, Israel, Hong Kong, the US, and beyond. Sarine also maintains the GCAL brand in the US for diamond grading reports. Its solutions are relevant to enterprises seeking to modernize operations, reduce grading subjectivity, and differentiate their retail offering through technology.
