Proportionscope (5.12)

Proportionscope (5.12)

The proportionscope, first designed and manufactured by GIA in 1967, is an instrument that casts a silhouetted image of the diamond It allows us to check the proportions of the stone in question. More current technology has largely replaced this but still a handy gemological tool to include in one’s lab.
