For years people have inscribed the band of a ring but now it is possible to personalize the diamond too. Dalumi Diamonds has a new system called
Tattoo Your Diamond that allows you to engrave a personal message along the girdle (the belt around the diamond). The message is done with a laster and can never be erased.You sign your chosen message in your own handwriting for inscription on parchment paper. The diamond goes to the IGI lab and is returned with a photograph of the engraved message on the girdle. The Tattoo Your Diamond website has a virtual diamond you can put a message on as I've done in the picture here.

And, of course, now your FL diamond is flawed.

Sure, it certainly can be erased... it can be erased be another laser.

I would be interested in more information. If I wanted to engrave a serial number on the stone, how many digits could be used?
Thanks,

diamonds maybe forever, but these days marriages frequently are not!
jane Jan 18th 2007 7:16AM
as a jeweler I'd like to point out it can be very easily polished off no laser required to do so

There is no way I'd put any writing on my 2.5 carat D-color Flawless ring!!!! My Fiance' would shit a brick..lol.

What's the point? You can't see it unless you study the diamond! 2.5 carat D color... maybe. Flawless...no such thing. (sounds good though)
Jewel Jan 18th 2007 8:21AM
To "M": Either you do NOT actually have a 2.5 carat D- color, Internally flawless diamond ring (which I have some doubt), or you truly epitomize pretentiousness.

Guys, its an article about diamond tattooing. Not about bashing the other bloggers. I know everyone's parental influences tried to teach us manners. Lets be nice okay? As for the diamond, its an interesting idea, but, as another jeweler and a stone cutter, Jane is right. It can be polished off but it would ruin the stones proportions and a new grade for those proportions would be needed, possibly dropping the value. And D, Flawless diamonds do exsist. They are just extraordinarily expensive and even rarer, so if M has one, she's a lucky girl and should hold onto it until death parts her from this mortal coil...also go have it appraised and insured honey. For safety. Very interesting article.

My sister is 26 and wears a perfect 2 carat diamond on her hand... I own a boutique and actally see lots of women with beautiful diamonds everyday. Very large as well. Why is it hard to believe that alot of people have these? Just curious??

What is the big deal with the de-grading of your diamond if it gets a tattoo. People get tattooes. Does that mean we are any less valuable? The value put on the diamond is in your heart, not the price. If you want it tattooed, tattoo it. Who really lives in a perfect world? I hope none of you confess to. Point is.....its your diamond and your life and your love...quit putting a value on it. Semper Fi, Rob

Why does everyone care so much what someone else does with their diamond? It's not hurting anybody if I decide to "tattoo" my diamond. Would I do it? Probably not. But, ever hear of live and let live?
Tony Nobanks Jan 18th 2007 4:25PM
It's a good idea but me personnally would not have it done diamonds are meant to be flawless not tattood.
Aurora Jan 18th 2007 8:56AM
D-colour and flawless diamond...that's what cubic zirconia is generally compared to. Coincidence? Better not get that "diamond" appraised or the jeweler will laugh his ass off!
Tina Jan 18th 2007 3:46PM
I have one, and the diamond is beautiful and in the top 2% of flawless diamonds...no biggie and is more personal. If stolen, can be identified easier.
TINA Jan 18th 2007 9:15AM
I think it's a great idea becuase if we break up then and his fault, he can't give it to someone else with my name on it.hahaha
Johanna Jan 18th 2007 10:14AM
Alls i know is, i want a certain someone to give me that ring...tattoo or no tattoo, i'm not too picky.
Diana Jan 18th 2007 9:30AM
"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" because if things go wrong you can sell them! Preserve the value. SO many ignorant Yupskadoodle people think they are immune from layoffs, serious illness and hard times. You are not.

Dang, gratefully all your snippy comments probably fell on deaf ears. I am guessing like 99% of these posters, 4K Flawless, posted and never came back. Such ugliness ... there are people out there that own precious gems, why not her? Get over your hurtful selves.
