HOD HASHARON, Israel, Feb. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN--

Singapore Exchange Mainboard listed, Israeli company Sarine Technologies Ltd

("Sarine") (U77:SI), a worldwide leader in the development and manufacturing of

precision technology products for the evaluation, planning, processing and grading

of diamonds and gems announced that it is working with Tiffany & Co. ("Tiffany")

to adapt its artificial intelligence (AI) based grading technology to Tiffany's stringent

grading guidelines and criteria.

The aim to perfect the way diamonds are graded and to ensure consistent and

accurate grading is a key element in securing consumers' trust in diamonds.

Sarine has invested significant R&D efforts and has been at the forefront of

this quest, employing computer vision, advanced software algorithms, machine

learning and AI to realize technology-based AI-driven objective grading.

Sarine's automated grading technology substantially removes subjective human

error and bias from the grading process, enabling a new level of accuracy,

reliability and consistency. Sarine and Tiffany will now be working closely

together to further develop and adapt Sarine's solution to meet Tiffany's

discriminating grading standards for Color and Clarity. Sarine's automated

grading technology, introduced in early 2018, was developed to be 'GIA compatible',

meaning the basis for the machine learning and grading was the GIA grading system.

Tiffany's stringent grading standards pose additional challenges, which require further

refinement to adapt the paradigm to Tiffany's requirements.

Sarine Technologies entered into a strategic cooperation with Tiffany in 2011, the purpose

then was to develop an automated system (later known as DiaMension(R) Axiom) for

the grading of a polished diamond's symmetry to standards set by Tiffany.

Andy Hart, Tiffany's Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, Diamonds & Gemstones, said,

"The anticipated advances in grading technology by Sarine will enable the Tiffany Gemological

Laboratory's graders to continually employ the best technology available in the industry to

objectively, consistently and efficiently measure and uphold our demanding grading standards

for Tiffany diamonds."

David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, said, "We are excited to be working

again with Tiffany, one of the leading polishing and retailing organizations in

our industry. Adapting our technology based grading to meet Tiffany's rigorous

grading standards is a non-trivial task, requiring a dedicated team of gemmologists,

scientists and engineers to push the technological envelope even further."
