We’ve all heard of inscribing messages on metal and on stone – old fashioned romantics have been doing it for centuries. The act of engraving names or special messages of love onto rings, bracelets and other pieces of jewelry signify love’s permanence for one another. Now, true and stylish romantics are taking it a step further. Inscriptions are now being placed on diamonds.
The fad is fast becoming popular and does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Any kinds of message, from short and sweet like “Forever Yours”, to special dates, names and initials, to long and detailed like love poems and love quotes, can be inscribed onto a diamond.

Of course, this cannot be possible without the aid and precision of technology that has evolved and improved throughout the times. Diamond laser inscription is done by the latest in technology, including laser equipment and articulating microscopes, which is often used when working with very small objects, such as circuit board repair, dental braces and body cells. An articulating microscope allows for the adequate visualization and magnification of the diamond, and a micro-beam laser is used to engrave the minute messages on the girdle of any diamond that should weigh ¼ carat or more. The articulating microscope also helps with the mobility and flexibility elements which are required for such a delicate task such as engraving on precious gemstones. The message, as you might suspect, is also microscopic. To read it, one must have a jeweler’s loupe or a handy articulating microscope nearby. But the fact that no one else can read it shouldn’t matter, should it? This personalized touch is simply special enough to have something like this done. The cost depends on the weight of the diamond and the length of the message, the average being 15 characters in length. So for those who are thinking about purchasing a piece of diamond jewelry, they should also consider diamond laser inscription. Rest assured it will make your gift more special.

Aside from the obviously romantic and sentimental reasons of professing true love to your partner by diamond laser inscription, this service is not only a craze, but also has some practical uses to benefit from.
Diamond laser inscription is also a very sensible way to identify a diamond, almost like a trademark, or a special kind of bar code.

These professionals have the expertise to turn your diamond into something more extra special. Aside from the personalization and diamond identification this service provides, diamond inscription by the GIA also ensures the diamond’s quality.
