What does the set of numbers inside my diamond ring mean?

I recently purchased a diamond engagement ring from an antique dealer. There is an eight digit number along side the carat weight of the diamond preceded with a diamond emblem. Does that number mean it is a certified diamond? If so, where can I find the info for this ring?

What's the best way to approach getting a diamond ring cleaned and inspected?

    It could be a lab grade report number (cert number)…however I find it odd that they would inscribe it into the shank of the ring…An 8 digit number would most likely be a GIA number (Gemological Institute of America). You could contact them, give them the number, and see if they have a lab report tied to the number…I don’t believe that recycle numbers, so if your diamond went through GIA, they should have a record of it.

    Good Luck!
