The Melee Inspector is one of the world’s most affordable and reliable solutions for identifying synthetic melee diamonds. Designed for jewelers, gemologists, and diamond traders, this compact device uses exact 255nm short-wave UV technology to detect HPHT and certain CVD-grown synthetic stones quickly and accurately. *Melee diamonds are very small diamonds (under 0.20ct each) commonly used in pavé settings, halos, micro-pavé rings, eternity bands, and as accent stones around a center diamond. Because they are purchased in large quantities, accurate screening is essential to avoid mixing natural diamonds with synthetic or treated stones. Engineered for both loose and mounted stones, the Melee Inspector works seamlessly with polished or rough diamonds, offering outstanding flexibility for in-store, lab, or on-the-go testing. Its bright white and UV illumination, combined with a built-in viewing magnifier, allows users to easily spot suspect diamonds with clarity. Lightweight, portable, and smartphone-compatible, this device can be powered by a 9V battery, making it ideal for field use, buying trips, and high-volume screening environments.
