Diamond Term Explanation

  2. Microscopical small superficial inscription created by a laser on a diamond for identification. Can be the diamond certificate number, a love message, brandname and number or otherwise. Relatively easy removable by polishing.
  3. Precision magnifying glass, usually of 10X and set in an eyepiece, for viewing diamonds and gems. Focusing distance approximately 25mm.
