| Laser gemprinting is a unique system for registering your diamond or gemstone and is the only 100% accurate means of proving ownership and protecting your valuable diamond. Gemprinting means that an owner has proof of ownership of his/her diamond. This is essential when leaving a loose or mounted diamond or other gem at a jeweller for setting or repair. | |
| A gemprint is made by using harmless state-of-the-art laser technology in order to create a ‘fingerprint’ of your diamond. Once this laser scan (or “fingerprint”) is stored in Gemprint’s International data base, the police and your insurance company can instantly identify the owner even years after a theft has occurred. Law enforcement agencies worldwide have access into the Gemprint files and seek to match recovered items with their owners. The laser gemprint pattern or the fingerprint is scanned and digitized, using computer software specifically designed for the system. You watch everything take place right at the IGS Inc. lab.
