Re-Examination Services
Diamonds that have been previously certified by Independent may be submitted for a re-examination in case changes are made to the Cut or Clarity criteria. Customers may re-submit the stones along with the original Independent Report. The diamond will be put through the entire re-examination process and a fresh report will be issued for the same. Diamonds holding a previous report other than Independent will be put through a fresh examination and will be treated as a first-time certification.
Laser Inscription
For those seeking to have a unique identification mark on their diamond, Independent provides laser inscription. Upon your request, a microscopic inscription is permanently etched on the girdle of the gem. This can be a unique identification number (as per the Independent Grading Report), the Independent logo, your own logo or a service mark, a personal message or symbol. The etching is microscopic and can only be read under 10x magnification. You will be asked to produce a soft copy of the desired symbol, logo or text in Independent’s prescribed file format.
