DCLA Service Offers Better Security

Whilst a thief maybe able to steal a television or computer, these objects are usual very difficult to steal (as the are heavy!) and will probably only yield a few hundred dollars at a pawnbroker. However, with diamonds a thief can easily steal a diamond, put it in their pocket and yield thousands of dollars.

A new registry service from the DCLA offers diamond owners the ability to register their diamonds in an online database. If a diamond is stolen, merchants will be alerted and it will be picked up immediately should it be sent back to the DCLA for a new grading report or other reason.

A nominal fee of $35.00 is payable for each diamond listed, and as you can imagine, the effectiveness of this service would be increased dramatically with a laser inscription on the diamond.

For added security, the DCLA verify ownership of the diamond before listing. Their method of doing so has sparked our curiousity, so we, amongst others, would love to find out.
