What is Diamond Laser Inscription?

Laser inscription is the use of a very fine precise laser beam to write a grading report number, or customised personal message on the girdle of a diamond. The laser inscription is totally invisible to the naked eye, and can only be seen with a magnifying loupe or a special laser inscription viewer.

Laser inscription provides instant verification, added security and peace of mind when making a diamond purchase. Laser inscription will help ensure that the loose diamond or a diamond set in a ring matches the Diamond Certificate.


Can Laser Inscription damage a diamond?

Cold laser inscription does not change the colour or clarity grade of a diamond. Laser Inscription is permanent and can only be removed by a professional diamond cutter. Cold laser technology allows excellent control during inscription without damaging the diamond, unlike a hot laser.

Cold Laser inscription will never chip, burn or fracture a diamond, because the cold laser process uses a short wave length and produces no thermal effect on the diamond. Hot laser inscription can alter the quality or damage the diamond.
Make sure your diamond has been inscribed using a cold laser.


What if I need my diamond set in a ring?

Diamond Imports has a large selection of ring designs in stock that will suit most diamond shapes and sizes. Choose from solitaire diamond rings, channel set diamond rings, baguette set diamond rings, or diamond rings with side stones. Our ring designs are available in eighteen karat white gold, eighteen karat yellow gold or platinum.
