Gemological Science International (GSI) and Mindron are proud to announce the launch of the Trusure Apex, a state-of-the-art and advanced diamond screening instrument, at a recent event. Powered by GSI, this groundbreaking tool is engineered to detect natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds (CVD and HPHT), and non-diamond simulants such as CZ, across various jewellery types and categories, including loose, mounted, and complex polki jewellery.
The Trusure Apex offers unmatched precision and speed in screening. It has an additional Internal Fluorescent Light ensuring zero false positives, and an advanced Smart Auto-Marking technology that helps in quick segregation. More so, its capabilities also include higher zoom capabilities (10x) for detailed inspection, customizable data management, and the ability to generate in-house certificates, making it an essential tool for both retailers and manufacturers in the jewellery industry. The instrument’s advanced bangle and ring rotators scan jewellery comprehensively, providing precise results in below 30 seconds.
With research exclusively done by GSI, the Trusure Apex represents our continued commitment to innovation in gemological research. As a leading gemological lab, GSI has long been at the forefront of research and development helping global instrument manufacturers, contributing to advancements in detecting and differentiating complex treatments and lab-grown contamination.
“The launch of the Trusure Apex marks another milestone in GSI’s mission to drive forward gemological research and provide cutting-edge solutions for the industry,” said Ramit Kapur, Managing Director, GSI India. “With its user-friendly design and reliable results, the Trusure Apex provides retailers and manufacturers with the tools they need to confidently detect and differentiate diamonds at every level of the supply chain. It is a game-changer, offering advanced functionality and convenience that elevates diamond detection to a new standard of excellence.”
The Trusure Apex offers the flexibility of both single and quad screening modes, providing efficiency and ease of use for jewelers at the store level. Its sleek design and intuitive interface make it a valuable tool for anyone needing a portable, high-quality, and fast detection system. Retailers can now offer enhanced customer trust by ensuring that each product is authenticated and accurately graded.
Trusure, powered by GSI, is available in Mini, Median, and Apex models. While the Trusure Mini excels in portability and ease of use for quick, on-the-spot detection, the Trusure Median strikes a balance between speed and precision, the Trusure Apex takes diamond screening to the next level with enhanced versatility and advanced features, offering a superior solution for businesses demanding the highest level of performance and accuracy.
With this launch, GSI continues to lead the industry by creating solutions that empower retailers and manufacturers globally, helping them stay ahead in the ever-evolving diamond and gemstone market.

Jewel Buzz recently hosted a high-level panel featuring the titans of the jewelry manufacturing industry to discuss the significance of the JMAIIE 2026. The Panel of Stalwarts comprised :K Srinivasan: Chairman, Emerald Group,Dr. Chetan Kumar: CMD, Lakshmi Diamonds, Bengaluru Nitesh Jain, MD, Purple Jewels Private Limited,Nikhil Ranavat: Director, AR Gold Private Limited & Director, Swarnshilp Chains and Jewels Pvt Ltd
The discussion highlighted how technology is no longer an optional expense but a vital investment for global competitiveness. The importance of machinery was summed by said K Srinivasan: Investing in machinery is not an expenditure; it is an investment.
Key Objectives for JMAIIE 2026
The leaders identified several critical reasons for attending the expo, emphasizing that the “machinery-only” focus of JMAIIE allows for deep concentration without the distractions of finished jewelry.
- Technology Upgradation: K Srinivasan emphasized that with 41 years in the field, he views quality machinery as the foundation for working with all gold purities (from 9k to 22k) and silver. Continuous updating is required to stay relevant.
- Cost & Loss Reduction: Nikhil Ranawat pointed out that with rising gold prices, the priority is minimizing manufacturing losses. Even recovering an extra 1% of gold through better technology significantly impacts the bottom line.
- Weight & Aesthetics: Dr. Chetan Kumar noted the industry’s shift toward both ultra-lightweight and complex fashionable jewelry, both of which require advanced precision tools.
- Production Efficiency: Nitesh Jain highlighted the need for robust, “non-breakdown” machines to keep manufacturing costs low for the end consumer.
The State of “Make in India” Machinery
The panel offered a candid assessment of domestic vs. international machinery standards:
| Strengths of Indian Machinery | Areas for Improvement |
| Outstanding quality in Enameling, Casting Furnaces, and Buffing Machines. | Chain-making technology still lags behind global standards. |
| Excellence in CAD/CAM software and implementation. | Need for more robust, long-term durability to match Italian/Western builds. |
| High value-for-money and improving after-sales service. | Consistency in high-end finishing for luxury products. |
Future Outlook
The industry leaders called for a strategic shift to align with the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision.
- Technology Hubs: Dr. Chetan Kumar said government support was imperative and proposed the creation of a dedicated Technology Park for the jewelry industry where manufacturers and AI researchers can collaborate on new machinery.
- Skill Development: Nitesh Jain warned that high-tech machines are useless without a skilled workforce trained to operate them. A cultural shift from traditional handmade methods to tech-driven manufacturing is essential.
- Global Ambitions: With the conclusion of various FTAs (Free Trade Agreements), the panel believes that superior technology will allow India to truly become the “Jeweler to the World.”
Conclusion
JMAIIE 2026 stands as a pivotal platform for the industry. The consensus is clear: the future of Indian jewelry lies in the marriage of traditional hand-craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
