Tattoo Your Diamond

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.

Dennis...my friend.. size is VERY important to a woman. now whether its diamonds or...

clm Jan 18th 2007 1:22PM

For Dennis, YES, by God, size DOES matter, in every possible way!! Any one who says otherwise is not being honest. ;)

OK people..... there is a WAR going on in IRAQ.... with thousands of US soldiers dying each day - is this really necessary?

HAHAHA oh em gee. You people are pathetic, your sitting here degrading this woman's diamond. Get a REAL life, and stop worrying about how many diamonds liz taylor has on her ring, you'll never live to see it. I'm with gemologist on this one.

M ... CONGRATS ... maybe your engagement ring is a preview of what your wedding band will be like ... In certain instances, SIZE DOES MATTER ... but in this case M is right, QUALITY wins. I was not the one who decided on the following ring choices ... HE did! My engagement ring is a 2 carat Tiffany round brilliant diamond setting w/pear side stones. The Wedding band is a Tiffany Eternity 3.18 carat Ring (full circle of round brilliant diamonds) Both are Color G Clarity VS & set in 18k gold. (I don't like Platinum) Can you imagine how much more that would have cost him??? As far as the topic at hand ... Tattooing my Diamond ... NO WAY!!! To me, that would depreciate the value. The engraving inside my engagement ring's band reads Past, Present, Future. (& includes our initials) Also his choice. Yes they have been appraised, Yes they are insured and YES THEY ARE REAL. I am also proud to show off my rings. I never take them off (except to have them professionally cleaned) ... do I worry about getting robbed for them? ... hmmm ... I never actually thought about that ... should I also insure my hand?

I DON'T SEE WHY EVERYONE IS HARPING ON "M" FOR TALKING ABOUT HER DIAMOND. THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT DIAMONDS ANS MAYBE SHE FELT THAT MENTIONINT THE RARITY OF HER DIAMOND WOULD MAKE THE READER UNDERSTAND HOW UPSET HER FIANCE WOULD BE IF SHE DAMAGED IT IN ANY WAY. WHY IS IT SI HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SHE COULD IN FACT HAVE A 2.5 CARAT D-COLOR RING. MNAY PEOPLE DO AND I HOPE TO ONE DAY BE ONE OF THEM IF NOT BIGGER. LAY OFF HER! AND AS FAR AS THE TATTOOING THING I FEEL LIKE IT IS A SWEET THOUGHT THOUGH NOT VERY PRACTICAL BUT THEN AGAIN IT'S YOUR DIAMOND AND DO WITH IT WHAT YOU WILL. AND TO "M" CONGRATULATIONS GIRL! SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A GOOD MAN, I WISH YOU LUCK!

Yes Karen, I agree..........It is a petty thing that we cling to, the size of a diamond, whether we should or should not inscribe a message on our diamonds, the foul language and stabs at total strangers just because they have a big diamond or not! Let us delve into deeper issues that can be of sound resolution. As Christ taught us, love your neighbor as you love yourself.....Do unto others as you would have them done to you. Let's get back to the basics please! If you want to comment on whether it is a good idea or not to tattoo a diamond or not is the issue in the blog. Not whether ones diamond is more or less flawless than someone elses or if it is real or not or if they need to know if size matters..........I just happened to stumble upon this site and found it a very interesting subject to debate on. AND some of you have turned it into a slug fest of rudeness and slander. Now, get back to work or whatever else you are supposed to be occupied with or make a valid contribution. Karen, You Go Girl!
God Bless You All

wow, for a moment i thought i was at my son's jr. high?! And you are all adults? what happened to the reason for this anyway, wow! You should all be totally ashamed of yourselves, lowering yourselfs, if you dont care what others think of you why lower yourself to respond. Funny how those who get slammed end up slamming everyone and then some. I hope those look in the mirror with distaste. Unbelievable!

Ugh Please Jan 18th 2007 1:41PM

M, you are clearly lying and hooray for you, you got a rise out of people. You can only do it on line where people can't SEE that you're full of balogna. And now trying this passive agressive "boo hoo I made a horrible choice and married a baad man in the past" just give us all a break. There are people out there with horrible pasts and they don't need to use it for pity when others start picking on them. If you want to impress people next time pretend to have class.

Jen Jan 18th 2007 1:42PM

For goodness sake, people. Why do you feel the need to micromanage someone else's post? Why? And who are these people who don't believe that 2.5 D, IF rings exist? I just need to go to the pick-up at my daughter's school to see all the 2, 3, 4 carat rings I could hope to see on the hands of the mommies. People are getting meaner and meaner. Would you say something so rude to M's face? I think the anonymity of the internet facilitates really obnoxious behavior. As for the laser tattoo, I would maybe have a serial number put on for insurance purposes, but I would worry that it would affect the value of my ring (per the jeweler's comments). So I guess my 1.73 F, VVS1 will have to remain untattooed. Whoops, I mentioned my ring stats ;)

Dennis (and others),
We must remember something; while size DOES matter, if you don't know what to do with it, it's useless, or at least not as attractive. For example; the lady's diamond in question, it's big and most likely in a lovely setting. If the setting was anything less than it is the ring would, likely, not be as appealing. With men, size does matter, and finding a man of "exceptional size" who also has the endurance, stamina and knowledge/experience to go with it, now that's a true thing of beauty!! The odds of finding a large flawless stone are low but it is possible. Finding a man of "exceptional size" is, on the average, 3%. And guys, there are a few of us ladies who are your counterparts. Our numbers are fewer than yours, but we're out there! Don't give up!!

M, honey, enjoy your diamond, enjoy your man, enjoy your life and don't let anyone steal your thunder!

Josette Jan 18th 2007 1:51PM

OK the idea of tatooing the diamond is to make the ring just that more special. Congrats M on having a rich fiance who can buy you the luxuries you own. To those of you who claim she does not have what she claims to have, have you seen her ring? Do you know her personally to say that she is lying? I doubt it. And the fighting on hear? Yeah here is a word of advise,FIGHTING ON THE INTERNET IS LIKE THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS,EVEN IF YA WIN YOUR STILL RETARDED!!!!!!!!!

SKI Jan 18th 2007 1:45PM

WHEN ASKED WHAT SIZE MY DIAMOND IS, I OFT RESPOND "What did you say?" followed by "Oh yes, I thought that was what you said." and nothing further. THAT TECHNIQUE REMINDS THAT IT IS IMPOLITE TO ASK SUCH A QUESTION, OR TO DIVULGE SUCH INFORMATION. IT WORKS!

JR Jan 18th 2007 1:53PM

I just came to this sight to read about the "Tattoo your Diamond" article and i have to say . Ladies , Ladies can't we all just get along . But M I have to say I personaly would think someone with such a nice Diamond would not speak as harsh as you . For i'm sure your husband would like to be able to take you out without the worry of you screaming obscene words . Thank you nice article .

Katie Jan 18th 2007 1:59PM

I think this should sum it all up....Jealousy is a disease....Get well soon, bitches!!!

enchantedme Jan 18th 2007 2:22PM

OMG! #16..you take issue with a girl proud of and wanting to brag about her diamond, and everything that it signifies? by the way, that would be love and commitment, not pretentiousness. how sad.

Katie Jan 18th 2007 2:40PM

haha! i read that "jealousy is a disease" comment on this girl's myspace page and made a point to remember it. it was so funny b/c she was actually serious! i've even got people saying it (jokingly, of course) at work now!

I think it is so very romantic! Maybe one day , if we ever win the lottery, my love will get one for me... I think it is an endearing gesture and quite romantic. But I am old fashioned and quite conservative, although, you would never guess, seeing as I am a professional tattoo artist. What's wrong with showing someone how much you adore them? If they like that sort of thing?... (sighs) doesn't anyone love anymore, like in the old days? You know, the black and white movies? I'm ranting....sorry, but I think if someone likes that sort of thing, why not endulge them every once in a while? Some of you ppl need to lighten up a lil...live, love, and laugh, cuz life is too short. Love you all!

#83 Marvin...I have read ever one of these comments and I have to say that I just can't stop crying from laughing. Some of this is funny but when I read #83 I was done. That laugh will carry me for days thank you Marvin. As for the writing on my diamond, well I don't think so.
