Can I see the inscription without a jeweler?

Usually not. It is written for a loupe or a lab microscope. You can still verify the report number on the certificate before the US shipment leaves.

US guides

Check the laser inscription before a diamond ships to the US

The inscription is a microscopic number on the girdle, not a logo you can read across a room.

The US decision

Labs inscribe the report number so a US jeweler can match the stone later with a loupe. Lab-grown inscriptions often include a laboratory-grown mark as well.

What to verify

Compare the number on the certificate PDF with the number the listing shows. If they differ, stop.

What to do next

After US delivery, a jeweler can read the girdle again before setting. That is the same check, done in person. Carat Mate ships the certified loose diamond and its lab report to United States addresses. Prices on the site are in USD. Wrong-item returns may be considered within 3 days of delivery, subject to review.
