How do I find a diamond's inscription?

GIA-certified diamonds have a laser inscription on the girdle (edge). You'll need a jeweler's loupe (10x magnification) or microscope to see it. The GIA report number is inscribed.

What if jewelry has no serial number?

Many jewelry pieces don't have serial numbers. Look for hallmarks, maker's marks, or unique features. Photos with clear details can also help identify stolen pieces.

Can I verify engagement rings?

Yes, especially if the diamond has a GIA or AGS certification. The report number is laser-inscribed on the diamond and can be verified.

What about gold and precious metals?

Gold jewelry often has hallmarks indicating purity (14K, 18K, etc.) and maker's marks. While not unique identifiers, they help with verification. Documented stolen pieces are logged by description.
