Loose Diamonds are Like the Batman of Precious Stones

They’re not crime fighters, but they are the greatest detectives in the gemstone world. They’re also worth quite a bit. (I thought the title might be about Tony Stark, but I’m not sure of the relative worth of Stark vs. Wayne, but that is a geeky argument for another day.) How are they the greatest detectives? Well, they didn’t train for decades to be crime fighters, but they have undergone immense pressure to be sterling examples. Batman can be (and frequently is) argued to be the pinnacle of human achievement, and certified loose diamonds are often held to be the pinnacle of precious stones.

Certified loose diamonds come with the option of registration in a databank. They can be tracked if you lose them or if they are stolen. Of course, you also get the benefit of a certified number on every metric you judge diamonds by, but that's only part of what makes certification such a sweet deal. LASERS. You can get a serial number LASERED onto your diamonds in a tiny micro-engraving. You can get messages or logos engraved, too. “The game is up, Margaret Pye,” says Batman as he recovers a set of certified engraved diamonds from the notorious villain Magpie. Just think about it. How cool is that story?
