GEMSTONE IRRADIATION

Gemstones are irradiated with ionizing radiation to enhance their color and clarity, which makes them more attractive for use in jewelry and increasing their market value. Enhancement of gemstones through irradiation is an established technology throughout the world.

BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR GEMSTONES IRRADIATION

Beamcomplex manufactures complexes with electron accelerators and other special equipment for treatment of gemstone with ionizing radiation (E-beam). Complexes may be placed directly at a manufacturing facility and can be integrated into the existing production cycle, thus avoiding additional transportation costs.

IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR GEMSTONE TREATMENT

Treatment of gemstones with ionizing radiation (E-beam) affects the structure of the stone and can alter its appearance or properties and is used to improve their color, durability and aesthetic qualities.

BENEFITS OF GEMSTONES IRRADIATION

Enhanced colour that makes gemstones more vibrant and visually appealing.

Enhanced gemstones' optical properties, leading to a clearer and more brilliant appearance.

High added value.

Accessibility of colours that are rare or difficult to find in nature.

Color and clarity changes achieved through irradiation are stable and permanent, which means that this treatment ensures that the colour and clarity will endure over time.

Irradiation is applicable to a variety of gemstones, including diamonds, topaz, and beryl, among others.
