Gemewizard is the brainchild of Menahem Sevdermish, an internationally
recognized authority on gem commercialization and gemstone processing.
He began his research 11 years ago into the development of a software-based
solution for color communication and gem grading.
Using the extensive data accumulated by the Gemological Center of Israel
(headed by Sevdermish), initial tests were conducted to verify the colors of
gems. A major breakthrough in his research occurred in 1998 when the core
program of a color grading system began to take shape. He created a special
patent pending system using thousands of gem images. The system was designed to recreate an existing image of a gem of a certain
shape and color as multiple images of this precise gem color, displaying the
selected color in the 15 most common gem shapes. The resulting database
contains more than 100,000 well-sorted color/shape combinations of digitally
created gem images.
Sevdermish then set about to bring together a group of software experts who
invested thousands of hours with the aim of creating a fully comprehensive
user-friendly software for color communication and marketing to be used by
jewelers, gem and diamond dealers alike. In addition, he held countless
meetings with gem experts and incorporated their feedback and comments into
the system.
Joining forces with Stuller Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers
and distributors of fine jewelry and jewelry-related products, the
Gemewizard project gained momentum, giving Gemewizard ’s developers
wide-ranging access to Stuller’s knowledge base, as well as their
comprehensive gem and diamond resources.
Gemewizard Inc. maintains an R&D center in Israel and a large sales and
support center in the US.
Future developments envisage a version of the software to be used by major
gemological laboratories, and a version to be used as educational software
for training the gemologist of tomorrow.
The results of eleven years of extensive research and labor are before
you...
The Gemewizard, the software program for the trade, made by people in the
trade.
