JA upgrade and a question about diamond inscription

[Goldenmom]

Hello, thank you for this wonderful forum and the advice I received regarding my upgrade exchange, about a month ago. I received my JA True Hearts ring today, 1.33 ct (size 6.25 ring) and I am sooooo happy with it. I have a question regarding the inscription. The JA rep said the diamond is inscribed with the AGS number, however it doesn't state this on the paperwork. I ordered a 30x loupe and myself nor my fiancé can see anywhere on the girdle that there is an inscription. Does AGS always put this on a diamond? If it is inscribed, would it state this on the paperwork? It's important to me to verify, in case I ever decide to have the ring serviced locally. I know the # can be very hard to read unless under a microscope, so it may just be our eyes. If not, is it a good idea to take it in somewhere to have it inscribed with some type of detail to make it identifiable to myself for future work? Thank you & I enjoy reading all the posts here!

When you say 'doesn't state this on the paperwork' are you referring to the invoice or the lab report?

The lab report would indicate the inscription under 'Comments' section.

Inscriptions are often hard to read, and sometimes prongs cover all or part of an inscription.

30x loupe is hard to use because the field of focus is so narrow. But if the inscription is there, if you work with it long enough you will eventually find it. (unless it is covered by a prong).

It isn't on the AGS certificate under Comments.

If insribed, it will say on the report. If not, there is nothing on the report. Mine does not have inscription.

I have a 30x loupe ...and only managed to locate the inscription (but still too small for me to make out the number).

I only managed to see it under the digital microscope (I think around 100x magnification) to read the numbers.
