GIA Diamond Reports & Laser Inscriptions

We offer assistance with GIA (Gemological Institute of America) diamond reports and can help verify laser-inscribed stones for added security and identification. If your diamond includes a microscopic GIA inscription, we’ll use our equipment to locate and confirm it.
