When people go
diamond ring shopping, they usually check almost every aspect of the
diamond jewelry such as the
gemstones, the
settings,
metal works,
style,
design, and whatnot. However, only a few people will ask their seller about the
diamond inscription number on the
ring. Note that there will be a serial number on a
diamond ring, which plays the role of its
unique identification code.
A serial number inscribed on a
diamond ring will be marked in its
GIA certificate, and this in turn, will be registered in the
GIA records. It will include all the
details regarding that
gemstone and about the seller as well as the buyer. So, if someone steals your
diamond and tries to sell it, a buyer can easily catch him by matching the
diamond inscription number of that
ring with the
GIA records. He can also find the
details of the rightful owner of a
ring using the serial number. This explains why it is really crucial for you to check whether there is a serial number on
a diamond ring that you buy.
Note that it requires professional skills and high-powered equipment to read
these inscriptions on the
diamond ring. In fact, it cannot be read using an average magnifying glass or a
diamond loupe. This is in order to secure a
diamond while maintaining its appeal.
