Tweezar | Israel
Tweezar wants to make it easier for diamond traders to communicate with end users in a much more transparent manner. The start-up’s 3D-printed rectangular gizmo allows merchants simply take the diamond stone, slide it into the device, and click start. Within 20 seconds, the device will take a high-definition image of the stone. Merchants then use the Tweezar app on their smartphone, which has embedded optical character recognition (OCR) technology, allowing them to scan the diamond’s certificate. After all parameters are complete, both the high-definition images of the diamond as well as its accompanying certificate will be uploaded on ecommerce sites such as Ebay.
