Greg Brennan is the director of Electrical Factory Outlet (EFO), a supplier of<br />

lighting for retail stores and display cabinets that, Brennan claims, can boost<br />

store traffic.<br />

“As EFO is very new to the jewellery industry, we bring fresh ideas around<br />

lighting and displays,” he says. “This year, we are launching our jewellery<br />

merchandising light Scintalite. It has been designed to maximise the natural<br />

brilliance of diamonds and gems by turning a static, diamond store-display into<br />

an impressive glimmer of shining light – we’re invested in helping jewellers<br />

capture greater customer attention and drive more store traffic.”<br />

Abraham Tok of Sydney-based Tok Brothers offers CAD/CAM services to retailers.<br />

He believes 3D printing is one technology that will only improve.<br />

analysers are extremely simple to use and provide laboratory comparable<br />

elemental analysis. XRF testing method is completely non-destructive and there<br />

is no need to use dangerous acids,” he says.<br />

“Axon technology provides test-to-test and instrument-to-instrument<br />

repeatability so your first test is the same as your last test, no matter what<br />

instrument you may use – even a five-second test provides adequate results for<br />

most customers.”<br />

“We recently expanded our fleet of 3D printers by adding a new FormLabs 2 3D<br />

printer. This has allowed us to 3D-print more models at faster speeds without<br />

compromising on quality,” he says.<br />

Tok notes that his business has also started using a synthetic diamond screener.<br />

“We’ve started using an advanced Presidium synthetic diamond screener that<br />

allows us to quickly and accurately test diamonds – loose and mounted – in<br />

front of our customers,” he says, adding, “Using this also protects us from the<br />

rising instances of synthetic diamonds being mixed with naturals. This shows<br />
