It will include all the details about that gemstone and about the seller and the buyer. GIA inscriptions aren't the only number found on a diamond. Different types of diamonds are accompanied by additional serial numbers. At Serendipity, we specialize in being able to supply diamonds that can be traced back to the same mine where they originated.
A diamond is engraved on its girdle, which is a small border around the perimeter. This part of the diamond is normally found inside the bezel. Special equipment is required to see the numbers, so that they don't interfere with the beauty of the diamond. As a homeowner, you would never know that the numbers are in the stone without the certificate.
The glory days that lasted decades and that produced the world's most fascinating and rare pink diamonds in Western Australia now belong. Diamonds classified by the GIA and other certification organizations have serial numbers to prove their authenticity. The size of the inscription must be microscopic so that it fits discreetly in the girdle and ensure that the beauty of the diamond is not affected. As wonderful as it is to know that diamonds can be traced back to their owners, some may also be concerned that something is engraved on their diamond.
Without a serial number and the corresponding report from the GIA or other credible rating institution, it's difficult to determine the true quality of a diamond. Devon has advised major jewelry brands and her work has been cited in Diamond Nexus and other industry publications. In the case of smaller diamonds under 1 carat, there is a relationship between a GIA-certified diamond and the attached report. When a retailer shows three diamonds, all weighing 0.50 carats, classified in color D, purity VS1, color E, clarity VVS2 and clarity VVS1 in color D, the GIA inscription allows an accurate identification of each diamond.
The buyer is likely to go through a thorough evaluation process that includes checking if the diamond is real and having it classified by a professional jeweler. Enter this number on the GIA website and, voila, you'll have an electronic copy of your diamond rating report. Because they're a very expensive purchase and the average consumer isn't an expert in diamond quality, the jewelry industry is rife with fraudulent claims. It's always a good idea to buy the best diamond you can afford, and having one with a serial number is a great way to make sure you know what you're buying and to protect that investment.
Imagine this, these small pieces of data can help to thwart diamond thefts, because if someone is offered something too good to be true and analyzes it, they can basically identify if the stone was reported as stolen in the past.
