HRD ANTWERP LAUNCHES ‘AUTHENTICITY JEWELLERY REPORT – YOUR BLUEPRINT OF ASSURANCE’ CURATED FOR UNCUT POLKI DIAMOND JEWELLERY

25th March 2021 – On 24th March 2021 in Mumbai, India, the legacy of Antwerp’s more than 570 years of Diamond Heritage and the rich diamond history of India, came together with the launch of the Authenticity Jewellery Report, aimed at the traditional and authentic Polki jewellery.

Traditional handcrafted Polki jewellery inspired by flora, fauna, and architectural elements since 1526, has its roots firmly embedded in India. Presently, these heritage-inspired jewels have gained in popularity on the international market too. HRD Antwerp believes that these unique jewellery pieces symbolize a critical element of the traditional cultural diamond heritage of India.

The Authenticity Jewellery Report captures the essence of Polki or uncut diamonds mounted in jewellery – notably their natural origin. Unlike polished diamonds, which have the 4Cs mentioned in HRD Antwerp’s Natural Diamond Grading Report, the Authenticity Report will identify the uncut mounted diamonds’ nature. Every single stone will be thoroughly screened and checked for its natural origin. HRD Antwerp will only issue the report for Polki jewellery containing 100 per cent natural diamonds with no treatments.

HRD Antwerp’s USP for the authenticity report is ‘Your Blueprint of Assurance’, thus creating an added level of confidence for consumers purchasing these timeless creations.
