The International Diamond Registry is an independent digital registry where owners of laser-inscribed diamonds can securely maintain their diamond’s certification and ownership records. IDR closes the loop—ensuring that the diamond, its certificate, and the rightful owner remain securely linked—providing peace of mind and aiding recovery if a diamond is lost or stolen.
No. International Diamond Registry is an independent registry service and is not affiliated with Gemological Institute of America, International Gemological Institute, or any gemological laboratory. Gemological Institute of America and other labs grade, identify diamonds. International. They do not connect the diamond with the owner.
Diamond Registry is designed to record ownership information submitted by diamond owners, helping connect the diamond, its certification details, and its registered owner.
No. IDR does not grade, certify, appraise, or authenticate diamonds.
All grading and certification is performed by independent gemological laboratories. IDR simply records the information provided by the owner.
An IDR registry record may include:
No. IDR does not issue physical certificates.
All registry records are maintained digitally in our secure database.
IDR registration helps document claimed ownership, but it does not replace legal title, insurance policies, purchase receipts, or court determinations.
Registry records are intended to support ownership documentation, not establish legal ownership by themselves.
IDR is designed to support recovery efforts by providing a time-stamped digital ownership record that may be referenced if a diamond is recovered or identified.
If a diamond is reported lost or stolen and later reported found, I will personally work to help connect the recovered diamond with its registered owner.
While IDR cannot guarantee recovery, documented records can be valuable in loss or theft situations and may help establish ownership when it matters most.

Owner information is not publicly displayed and is maintained in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
Anyone who owns or lawfully possesses a certified diamond may create an IDR registry record, including:

Yes. You may update or amend your registry record during your active registration period if ownership details or supporting information change.
Registration duration depends on the plan selected, such as 5-year, 10-year, or lifetime registration.

No. IDR is a voluntary service. There is no government, legal, or industry requirement to register a diamond with IDR. However, registration provides peace of mind and may aid in recovery efforts if your diamond is ever lost or stolen.
A diamond may only have one active ownership registry record at a time. IDR reserves the right to review, flag, or investigate duplicate or conflicting registrations.
Ownership records may be transferred without limit when a diamond is sold, gifted, inherited, or otherwise lawfully transferred to a new owner.
IDR does not represent or act on behalf of law enforcement agencies or insurance companies. Registry records may be referenced by owners, insurers, or authorities as part of broader verification, claims, or recovery efforts at their discretion.
In some cases, maintaining documented ownership records may be viewed favorably by insurers. Coverage terms, eligibility, and any premium discounts are determined solely by the insurance provider.
Insurance can help compensate for financial loss, but it may not replace the sentimental value attached to your original diamond. A diamond often represents life moments that cannot be recreated—an engagement, a wedding day, family memories, or loved ones who shared those moments.
No. IDR is a privately operated, independent registry service and is not a government entity.
