Girdle Inscription Reference

[scidia]

Hi everyone,

Can we list known girdle inscriptions for lab synthesized diamonds? These can be used for cross-reference with the "grower".

Pure Grown Diamonds - LAB GROWN LGXXXXXXXXX
Washington Diamonds Corp - LABORATORY GROWN IN THE USA IGI LGXXXXXXXX
Washington Diamonds Corp - LAB GROWN IN THE USA LGXXXXXXXX

The girdle inscription is put there by the grading lab, not the grower. Within some range of reason they'll write whatever the client, that's the manufacturer, asks, but I think your premise is incorrect that you can tell who the manufacturer is based on the language used in the inscription. In the case of GIA, they always write the same thing no matter who the client is. A customer can ADD something if they want, but they can't change the part the part about LABORATORY GROWN and the report number.
