Cutter, wholesaler, or dealer code.
Basically they can have anything they want put on with the gia report number.

@Karl_K - That’s interesting. Do all diamonds have laser inscriptions from GIA, EGL, etc?

no they dont.
They are common on newer graded stones and required for some grading reports.

BCD is "boron carbide diamelle" -- a popular diamond simulant that legally must be designated as such.

And before I get a lot of angry pushback: this is a joke.

No, wait! It's "Blood-Conflict Diamond." Just a State Department thing.

When I bought my EC from Diamondhouse in Antwerp back in 2004 in person, I was given the option whether to laser-inscribe the HRD certificate number on the girdle of the stone before it was set, and I said yes.

Never saw it in person as it was bezel set soon afterwards.

Is it possible it might have said “BGD” instead?
Perhaps Brian Gavin?

That was my first thought, Brian Gavin Diamond

It was my first thought as well but I have pair of studs from him and he has his name fully spelled out and imprinted as Brian Gavin in his signature font.

David Bendrely from NYC who makes advanced laser inscription technology put a QR code on a girdle and with the right magnification it read "To Belinda fro Bill date date"

Hello!
I too just noticed BCD on my recent diamond purchase. It has a GIA report but no inscription on the girdle. The only inscription is BCD, which I'm rather concerned that my jeweler didn't point that out when she was looking at the girdle. Did you ever find out what BCD means?

Thank you!

FYI, BGD stones looks similar to this. Not my wife’s inscription but it’s the same format. Hers is a Blue as well.

My point is the name is spelled out.

Seems likely that BCD stands for Bright Crystal Diamond:

This seems like a logical guess. Although I found more dealers but searching "bright crystal diamond jeweler".

Looking at their pages I found some irony & missed opportunities in their marketing. The first being the worst. If your name includes the term "bright", your slogan should represent that image.

hahaha ahhh... wow. They must not have a big marketing budget!

Was on a LGD site yesterday and almost every page was identical and just stuffed with key words. Things like this are just thrown together by some cheap web developers. The craziest thing though is tiffany education - it has always been bad - but this ray path demo is dumber than dumb:

Yep, I don't know why I said Brilliant Crystal Diamond was my Google search phrase; Bright Crystal Diamond is what I plugged into Google.
