Should I add laser inscription to lab sapphire?

[thekokeshi]

I will be purchasing a white lab sapphire that I found out will be without laser inscription. The vendor is offering to inscribe the stone for me, but I'm unsure if it'll be better without the inscription to prevent cracking/chipping in the long run. To my understanding, the inscription will be somewhere that will be exposed and possibly to hit/bang against in my jewelry, which is why I worry about chips.

Is there a benefit to have the item with or without inscription? I do not plan to sell the ring, but assume I'll pass it down in the family at some point.

I have never heard of coloured gems being inscribed. I would not bother.

Is it some boutique cut stone they put their trademark or mm on?
Or you mean like a lab report number?

I wouldn’t feel much of a way on former and none on latter.

I've never heard of a lab created cs being inscribed. I personally wouldn't bother with it. Especially if it's an added expense.

What's the point? Its lab created. No resale value whatsoever. Is this jeweler offering to do this for a cost? If he/she is, there you have it. Milking you for more money, unless you asked first?
