The device, developed by De Beers Group, rapidly and reliably distinguishes natural diamonds from non-natural diamonds, such as laboratory-grown diamonds and diamond simulants, helping to underpin consumer confidence HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 March 2025 – De Beers Group announced that its innovative retail-facing diamond verification device, DiamondProof, has landed in select retail stores for the first time, giving consumers the ability to witness just how quickly the device can distinguish natural diamonds from non-natural diamonds, such as laboratory-grown diamonds (LGDs) and diamond simulants, providing a tool for retailers to help educate their customers on the differences between natural diamonds and other products. With research showing that almost half of consumers are unaware that LGDs can be readily detected, this easy-to-use device will enable retailers to show their customers just how quickly natural diamonds can be identified. DiamondProof detects unique characteristics found only in natural diamonds, which formed deep within the Earth billions of years ago. In contrast, LGDs are grown under entirely different conditions in an accelerated process which takes just a few weeks. DiamondProof is able to detect the distinct chemical compositions of natural diamonds, which differ from LGDs, allowing for precise identification of natural diamonds. Early adopters of DiamondProof include some of the largest jewellery retailers in the U.S. The device will also be available in a number of independent retail outlets to ensure this technology reaches consumers in a variety of retail environments. The first DiamondProof prototype instrument was unveiled at the JCK show in Las Vegas in June 2024 and has been developed to rapidly and easily screen both loose diamonds and those set in jewellery. With a zero percent ‘false positive rate*,’ the device will never mistake a lab-grown diamond as a natural diamond and delivers results within seconds. Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of De Beers Brands, said: “Natural diamonds and LGDs are two fundamentally different products. Natural diamonds are rare, one-of-a-kind miracles of nature that come to us from the earth through heat, pressure and time. This incredible journey is what makes them the ultimate marker of life’s most profound emotional moments. Consumers should be able to have confidence in such a meaningful purchase, and DiamondProof allows retailers to offer them greater peace of mind. We are in a new era of transparency at retail, and customers deserve to know what they are buying.” Sarandos Gouvelis, SVP, Pricing, Product and Technology Development at De Beers Group said: “By rapidly and reliably identifying whether a diamond is natural, DiamondProof is instrumental in enhancing consumer confidence in natural diamond purchases. Consumers deserve clarity and having DiamondProof available in retail settings helps them make informed decisions, while appreciating the unique value and story behind each natural diamond. With decades of leadership in synthetic detection technology, we are committed to providing the level of transparency that consumers expect.” The first batch of DiamondProof devices has been distributed to retailers in the U.S., with after-sales support and servicing available in country. The devices are available for purchase from now, with production scheduled to ramp up to meet the demand of retailers in other markets into next year. For more information, email [email protected]. Information about De Beers’ full suite of diamond verification instruments is available here. *By leveraging technology similar to that used in De Beers’ SynthDetect instrument, the vast majority of natural diamonds will pass DiamondProof without requiring referral for further testing, with less than 1% needing additional evaluation. This advanced technology also ensures a 0% false positive rate for natural diamonds, guaranteeing that no synthetic diamonds will be mistakenly identified as natural.Hashtag: #DeBeersGroup #Diamondproof #NaturalDiamonds http://www.debeersgroup.com/http://www.linkedin.com/company/de-beershttp://www.twitter.com/DeBeersGrouphttp://www.facebook.com/DeBeersGroupOfCompanies/http://www.instagram.com/debeersgroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Immediate action needed to disrupt junk food diet trend Some of the fastest growing countries in the world are set for dietary disaster as the trend of convenience store and supermarket dominance takes hold, according to a new global study released today on World Obesity Day. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 March 2025 – Just published in Nature Food, the study by researchers from Deakin University in Australia and experts from UNICEF, unveils a seismic shift in the types of food stores springing up globally over the past 15 years, with serious health implications for vulnerable low and middle-income countries. Analysing data from 97 countries on retail changes over the last 15 years, the study showed that the number of chain supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores per 10,000 people increased by 23.6% globally over the period. With market domination by these types of retailers being the norm in high-income countries, low and middle-income countries are copying the trend and catching up fast. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, the number of chain retail outlets per person has increased by nearly 10% per year, with a corresponding drop off in independently owned traditional stores. And in a sign that retail is set for an even bigger shake up, grocery sales from digital retailers increased by 325% over a 10-year period across 27 countries. In a clear indication that more supermarkets and convenience stores are bad for our health, the researchers showed for the first time that at a global scale, change in the density of chain retail outlets and the increasing amount of unhealthy food sold by them was associated with an increase in the prevalence of obesity, which continues to rise in every region of the world and is very much a global concern. And how does the increase in the number of chain retailers impact our health? According to the study’s lead author Dr Tailane Scapin, from Deakin University: “Large chain retailers usually hold significant market power, using their dominance over food manufacturers to determine what food is available and what price it’s sold at, which has led to the widespread availability of unhealthy foods. “Large chain retailers and food manufacturers also use aggressive marketing strategies to promote unhealthy foods, contributing to poor dietary habits and, as consequence, negatively impacting their customers’ health.” Dr Scapin said that immediate action was needed to address the impact of changing retail food environments. “Our findings underscore the importance of regulating the retail environment to make sure that it’s healthy foods that are promoted, while the marketing and promotion of unhealthy food products is limited. “In low and middle-income countries where supermarkets and convenience stores are spreading the fastest, governments have a time-limited opportunity to make sure that these new, modern retail stores actually promote healthy food. We know from the experience in North America, Europe and other high-income regions that once retailers are established, they are very hard to change.” The study’s research team called for urgent action from governments, from retailers and from the health promotion workforce to prioritise healthier retail food environments that support sustainable and healthy dietary patterns and positive public health outcomes. “With this research published on World Obesity Day which has a theme of ‘Changing systems for healthier lives’, it’s important that the promising action being taken by forward-thinking retailers and governments is scaled up globally,” Dr Scapin said. The full study report, with data by country, by geographic region and by country income group, appears in the publication in Nature Food and in an interactive dashboard here. This work was completed as part of a collaboration between UNICEF and the Centre of Research Excellence in Food Retail Environments for Health: Next Generation in Australia.
