Laser Inscription Maintenance Laser inscription itself is a process that converts the carbon structure of a diamond into graphite. The black, visible markings of the laser inscription are the embedded graphite left behind after the process is complete. With the growing prominence of laser inscription, the issue of handling and caring for the laser-inscribed diamonds is a critical one. Preservation is of the utmost importance, so proper handling techniques should be followed. Avoid such procedures as (cyanide) bombing exceeding five percent, stripping, or polishing with a harsh brush embedded with a condensed cell compound, since these methods will wear away the embedded graphite. Instead, try alternative methods to avoid damage or removal of your inscription: steam cleaning, mild pickling, polishing with a fine brush, and ultrasonic cleaning. Following these simple techniques will ensure the longest life and highest quality of a diamond's laser inscription. |
