When buying diamonds for any jewelry that you’ll be using it’s important to understand laser inscription and why it can help you make a more informed decision. Basically, laser inscription is a way for companies or countries to mark their diamonds in a specific way. It’s a tagging system for diamonds that lets you know some more information about them than what you can tell just by looking at them.
How Does Laser Inscription Work?
A precise laser from a specialized machine is used to mark the bottom of a diamond with a precise list of numbers or letters. The markings are very small and only visible if you are looking at the right area of the diamond with proper tools and equipment. Laser inscription does not harm the integrity of a diamond and actually helps give you the assurance that you are buying a high-quality product.
What Does Laser Inscription Tell You?
Most quality diamonds are graded in a lab to ensure that they are the quality that they say they are. When the lab grading is done the diamonds are given a certificate that says all the information about them. Not only do these diamonds come with a certificate, but they are also often inscribed making sure that they have a matching number to what is on the certificate from the lab. That’s how you’ll know for sure that you are receiving the product that you are supposed to be receiving. You simply match the numbers from the inscription to the certificate that comes with the diamond. If you can do that then you know the diamond is legitimate, otherwise it could have been sourced from anywhere and may not be the grade the seller claims it is.
When you are buying diamonds on your own, it’s important to look for this inscription yourself and to verify that it’s the proper number for the certificate. Always look at the number and then the certificate from a grading lab. If there is no certificate you should be careful about making the purchase unless you’re a diamond specialist and you know how to do the grading yourself. Diamonds can be very expensive and it’s important that you are getting what you are paying for. Utilize laser inscriptions to help you make the right decision before making the final purchase.
