Not every jewellery business has space for a large lab machine. A small retail counter, a branch showroom or a diamond professional who travels to clients needs something different: a portable diamond tester that is compact, quick to set up and simple enough for any staff member to use. This guide explains what to look for in a compact machine and how MiniSure by Vedant Techvision is built for exactly this job.
Why small counters and travelling professionals need a portable diamond tester
Lab-grown diamonds (CVD and HPHT) are real diamonds, so a normal thermal tester cannot separate them from natural stones. Large detection machines solve this, but they bring their own problems for a smaller business:
- Space: a big machine takes up counter space that a small showroom does not have.
- Setup: many machines need a dedicated computer and a fixed place to work.
- Training: choosing modes and adjusting settings slows staff down.
- Movement: professionals who visit clients or exhibitions need a machine they can take with them.
A portable diamond tester removes these problems while still detecting natural, CVD, HPHT and CZ stones.
What to look for in a portable diamond tester
- Small footprint: it should fit on a normal counter or in a travel kit.
- No dedicated computer: fewer cables and fewer things to carry.
- Simple operation: ideally no mode selection, so anyone can run a scan.
- Full detection: natural, CVD, HPHT and CZ, in loose and studded diamonds.
- Small stones: it should still screen tiny side stones, not only centre stones.
- Fast results: under a minute or so per scan keeps customers from waiting.
- Low maintenance: a compact machine should not need regular service visits.
How MiniSure works as a portable diamond tester
MiniSure is a compact CVD detection machine that identifies natural, CVD, HPHT and CZ diamonds in both loose stones and studded jewellery. It is designed for high-end retail counters and travelling professionals.
Compact size
MiniSure measures just 200 × 270 × 220 mm and weighs 8 kg. It fits easily on a small counter, in a cabin or in a travel kit, and it can be moved between branches or taken to client meetings.
Runs from your smartphone
MiniSure is operated through a user-friendly mobile app. Staff can start scans, view results, analyse data and compare scans directly on a smartphone. No dedicated computer is needed.
Single-mode screening: no mode selection
MiniSure uses true single-mode detection. There is no mode to choose before a scan. Place the stones or jewellery, start the scan and read the result. This makes it easy for any member of the counter staff to use.
Results in 45 to 60 seconds
Each scan gives results in 45 to 60 seconds, so a customer can see the stones checked while they wait.
Small stones, wide colour range
MiniSure screens diamonds from 0.002 carat and larger, in D to K colour grades, so even small side stones in studded jewellery are covered.
Automatic focus and plug-and-play setup
Smart auto-focus and automatic height adjustment remove manual settings. MiniSure is a fully self-contained, silent system with no external attachments or calibration tools needed. Plug it in and start scanning.
