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.
