Newbie99 Rough Rock Total Posts: 20 Last Post: 8/11/2001 Member Since: 5/31/2001	Hi all, I am wondering if it is a good idea to have GIA cert number inscripted to the girdle of my stone. I live near GIA Carlsbad, the fee is $27.00 will the inscription reduce the value of my diamond? I want to do this because I heard bad jeweler might swap my stone during cleaning. Thanks.

Inscription can be easily polished out or created on another stone. There are better ways to identify the diamond e.g. a plot of inclusions. Pricescope

I heard about GemPrint. it identifies and maps inclusions in the diamond for future identification. However, I don't know if this technique works in a flawless diamond. My stone is an IF clarity. Will it work? Thanks,

GemPrint have the same limitation. If the diamond will be repolished its reflection features will be altered and it won't match old GemPrint record. Although it is impossible to create a fake with the same GemPrint pattern. Pricescope

oldminer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,964 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/4/2000	I would do no harm to an IF stone to have it inscribed. $27 sounds like inexpensive protection. It could be removed intentionally, but it will not wear off. A Gemprint is only as good as the Gemprint Company. Without them being in business, no one else can make use of their records. They have been around for 20+ years and we used to do them ourselves. Who knows what the future will bring, however. ------------------ David Atlas Accredited Gem Appraisers David S.
