MEGAFire
Light Trace Analyzer

MEGAFire is a unique technology for analysis and evaluation of the light reflection of the diamond. MEGAFire measures the diamond and determines how much "life" it has in it. This is done by the use of Ray-Tracing Technology, based upon data containing a great amount of combinations. The factors on the diamond facet that are taken into account are: total depth, table size, crown angle, crown height, pavilion angle, pavilion depth, lower-half, star length and culet.

This tool can be used to sort stones according to the level of their Light-Reflecting properties in a scientific way, without having to rely on previous knowledge of the stone.

The light-reflecting standards can be divided into four central categories:
Standard A: Excellent Fire
Standard B: Very good Fire
Standard C: Good Fire
Standard D: Fair Fire

The use of the MEGAFire instrument is the first stage in the process of estimating the degree of light reflection contained in the diamond. In a few seconds the system illustrates a graphic image of the upper and lower sections of the diamond and also the amount of light reflection projected from the geometrical shape of the diamond.

If the light reflection standard is not Excellent Fire and you wish to upgrade the brightness of the stone, it is possible to undertake a new evaluation of the stone, until obtaining perfect light reflection.

An additional option is the use of the light performance technology found in the OGI rough stone software, which permits maximum evaluation of the rough stone. In other words, optimum weight and optimum light reflection can be obtained during the stage when the diamond is still in a rough condition.

OGI Systems' Leading Products

2011-01-24T04:09:00.000-08:00

OGI Systems LTD, the leading global company for diamond computerized tools, provides smart solutions for every stage of the diamond’s design and manufacturing.

OGI Systems has an experience of 20 years in providing smart solutions for stone measuring, grading, analyzing, marking, sawing and inscribing.

OGI Systems has developed two main software for the diamond industry – for rough and polished stones. These software are compatible with different machine models: machines that serve different purposes and similar machines that have a different number of channels.

The OGIRough is the software intended for rough stones. This software inspects the stone and makes an analysis of what can be obtained from the rough according to different parameters, such as shape, number of stones that can be obtained from one stone and polished stone value in accordance with Rapaport standards. If the software is connected to a machine equipped with a laser device, then it can laser mark the stone for polishing or cutting.

The Megascope has two main functions: First, it analyzes the stone's proportions during each stage of the manufacturing process. This helps in achieving the best results when polishing the stone. In addition, the software analyzes the polished stone in its final stage, based on criteria of different labs worldwide, such as GIA, IGI, HRD and EGL. Finally, when the analysis is done, a certificate can be produced, based on the data obtained from the software, via the certificate editor.

In addition to these two main software, OGI Systems' leading brands are:

OGITender - Portable Rough Analyzer

OGIMarker - Rough Laser Marking

GEMScribe - Girdle Laser Inscription
PHOENiX - Green Laser Sawing and Cutting

OGI Systems has been providing its tools and services to many companies spanning the globe for many years. Moreover, a company purchasing our machines will always get the support it needs, since OGI Systems has benefited its customers with support offices in many countries, including

India

One of OGI Systems' foremost tools is the Gemscribe, an innovative laser inscription tool for the diamond's and gemstone's girdle. This is a state-of-the-art machine+software that is extremely user-friendly, compact in size and stable. This tool has a relative advantage over others of its kind, especially in its ability to inscribe on embedded stones, on any shape, but also in the fact that there is no limit to the stone size, and that you can make corrections after the inscription without having to repolish the stone.

There's nothing more precious than a diamond… but an inscription on a diamond makes it ever more cherished

2011-01-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

OGI Systems, the leading company for diamond computerized tools, is launching a worldwide diamond inscription service

The most precious present a woman can get is her engagement ring. It's not only the price value of the diamond that makes it so cherished, but especially the meaning that is embedded into it. This ring is the ultimate symbol of eternal love between two people who are going to be bound forever, "for better or for worse, till death do us part". The diamond is not a coincidental choice for the engagement bond. It has been chosen due to its enduring qualities - the diamond lasts forever just as true love does. In addition, the diamond's perfect beauty symbolizes the beauty of the relationship between two lovers.

However, despite the fact that the diamond is perfect in its own right, today a new global trend is materializing- inscription of a dedication on the diamond's girdle. This enhances the diamond's romantic value even more. Imagine having a diamond with your lover's words secretly inscribed on it forever…it is the culmination of your love and loyalty to each other! The inscription "Forever yours" for example, becomes an eternal symbol of love, inscribed both on the diamond and in your heart until the end of times…and naturally, if you are not a person of words, you can always inscribe a symbol instead, of your zodiac sign or anything else that is meaningful to you.

Furthermore, apart from the romantic personalization of the diamond, an inscription actually protects the diamond from counterfeiting: how can you otherwise be sure that when you send your diamond to be cleaned or re-embedded, that the same stone will truly return to you? An inscription is a safety measure which is a must for such a valuable stone. Moreover, a bitmap image of the inscription-whether a romantic message or just a serial number- will upgrade your certificate of authenticity to a great extent.

Diamond inscription uses the most advanced laser technology. It seems to be a complicated process, but actually it is a very simple procedure that anyone can learn to handle quite easily. All you have to do is place the stone inside the machine and choose an area for inscription. Then take a snapshot of this area, choose a text or an image and upload it to the program screen. The next stage is to match the chosen text or image to a suitable spot on the girdle. And finally, the girdle is laser-inscribed in a matter of seconds. The entire inscription process can be viewed on the screen, featuring a crystal-clear picture of the gem.

There are all kinds of systems that use this technology. However, it is important that when you purchase such a system you make certain that it is user-friendly and compact in size, and that it has the option to inscribe on other gemstones as well. In addition, an added-value property is the ability to inscribe on embedded stones. There are also other considerations, such as the stone size and the system's ability to inscribe on different shapes. On the whole, once you have such a system under your hands, you can turn it into a relative advantage: you can attract your customers by offering them a special service which can only be provided by certain jewelry dealers. You can even take it further and advertise yourself as an inscription center for diamonds and gemstones. The possibilities are endless; it all depends on your vision and inspiration.

One example of such initiative is the worldwide inscription campaign that OGI Systems LTD has launched with the aim of promoting the idea of inscription on the diamond's girdle, bearing in mind that access to such service should be convenient. As part of this campaign, OGI has opened inscription centers around the globe, in Canada, England, Belgium, Italy, Israel, Tokyo, Australia and even

Vietnam

, and has united all its service providers under one roof. According to Mr Lior Modlin, manager of the marketing and sales department at OGI Systems Group, whoever needs such service will be directed to the closest service provider to his/her address. The different inscription centers provide laser inscription service to their customers, based on the technology of the Gemscribe, an inscription tool developed in the worldwide OGI laboratories. This is a win-win notion, since both the customers and the service providers will profit from it: the customers will gain the convenient access to the service, while the service providers will gain from the promotion of their business. Any company or business purchasing the Gemscribe, from any country around the world, can join this service at no charge.

?Is a Diamond Truly Perfect

2011-01-11T04:36:00.000-08:00

When you buy a diamond, you expect it to be the most perfect stone in the world. This is because of the diamond's reputation as the ultimate gemstone. The question is if this is really true or just a legend.

The answer to this question is not conclusive. On the one hand, the diamond has earned its royalty through its prominent physical characteristics, such as hardness and thermal conductivity. It is also characterized by significant optical features- the combination of high transparency with rigid lattice and high optical dispersion creates the diamond's clear and colorless appearance.

On the other hand, it is a known fact that diamonds have to be polished, cut and shaped in order to gain their due respect in the world of stones. In addition, most rough diamonds are not actually perfect- some contain inclusions and others have small defects that color diamonds blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green, purple, pink, orange or red.

Furthermore, the fact that a diamond's quality is judged in accordance with the four C's makes it obvious that there are all kinds of diamonds- some are perfect, others are less and still others are superior.

So on the whole, a diamond can be perfect, but we usually help it to become so. As a matter of fact, its royalty actually depends on our ability to make the most out of the rough – what we do with the rough stone that we mine, how we treat it and what we manage to produce, using our imagination, skill and tools.

With today's modern technology, the process can be much simpler than in the past. Most of the work is done with the help of advanced proportion analyzers that can help us make the best decisions in order to reach the ultimate results, based on the 4 C's.

The MEGAScope system is the ultimate solution to measuring, grading and re-cutting of diamonds from the rough stage up to a fully polished stone.

It can measure round and many fantasy diamonds from 0.01mm up to 1,000 carats in less than 18 seconds according to standards of different laboratories, such as GIA, HRD and IGI. It then produces a variety of reports comprising the following most accurate information about the diamond: weight, diameter, depth, crown angle and height, pavilion angle and height, culet and more. These reports can be printed on labels, letters or plastic cards.

The Most Romantic Birthday Present

2010-06-10T07:05:00.000-07:00

This is a story a close friend of mine told me a while ago. She and her husband have always been deeply in love, and they always try to be creative when it comes to birthday presents. But this time, her husband went overboard...

"Birthdays are always a happy occasion. But this year my birthday was extra special. I guess my husband decided that on my 40th birthday(!!) it's time to show his full love to me...
We went out for dinner, as we usually do on such an occasion, and we had a romantic evening together. Everything was just perfect : The food was delicious, the place, which was overlooking the sea, had a romantic touch, and most important- we had a great conversation going and we were feeling very flirtatious.
But I didn't realize that the evening's highlight was yet to come...
After a wonderful dessert, my husband took a small, wrapped gift out of his pocket. He asked me to close my eyes, and then he took my hand, and suddenly I felt a ring being set on my finger. I opened my eyes, and there it was- a real diamond ring, shining and sparkling at me, with endless flickers of light twinkling and glimmering...I was so astonished, I couldn't get hold of myself and started to cry...it was really weird, because I was actually so happy, and I didn't know why I was crying...
But I still had another surprise coming...
My husband then took a magnifying glass out of his other pocket. I didn't understand what he was doing, until he said, "This is for you to see the dedication." "What dedication?" I wondered. And he put the magnifying glass over the diamond, and there it was- a picture of my zodiac, a Leo, with the words "I love you" inscribed on it. I couldn't believe my eyes...right on the diamond's girdle, a beautiful dedication which I will always secretly carry with me, knowing that our love will last forever, just as a diamond does..."
