Our inspiration was the Morpho peleides butterfly. The intense blue of its wings does not come from pigment, but from a nanoscale surface structure. We brought the same principle to diamond.
A femtosecond laser restructures the surface of the diamond at the nanometre scale, without altering any certified parameter.
Operating at a depth of 40–450 nm, the laser captures the finest details, even the irregular lines of personal handwriting. Every mark is designed for aesthetic integration with the stone.
Traditional inscription graphitizes the diamond, leaving a dark trace. The femtosecond laser operates via ultra-short pulses, ensuring a precise, clean structurization free from blackening.
By restructuring the diamond’s surface, the mark reflects and refracts light, creating vivid color effects unmatched by any other method. Every stone responds to light in its own unique way.
The mark exists as long as the diamond itself. The inscription becomes an integral part of the stone. Everyday wear, cleaning, and the passage of time leave it entirely unchanged.
Combining nanoscale precision with advanced structurization technology, we inscribe signatures, symbols, dates, patterns, and other bespoke details onto selected areas of the stone.
From a simple symbol to a handwritten signature, a custom pattern, or a bespoke graphic, we transfer every design directly onto the stone.
Arteida is built on over a decade of experience in diamond identification and research into diamond structuring. A technology created for the diamond industry by those who truly understand it.
The process is simple. You define the concept, we handle the execution. Provide your own stone, or let us source one for you. Once the diamond arrives at our laboratory, the entire turnaround is approximately two weeks.
Outline your vision: a jewelry design, collection theme, or brand signature.
We will reach out to discuss the technical and aesthetic possibilities.
Present your inspiration or creative direction. Together, we refine the concept and give it its final form, ensuring it precisely reflects your vision.
Before the structurization process begins, we submit a visualization for your approval. It allows you to evaluate the placement, proportions, and optical balance of the mark on the stone.
Upon your approval, we execute the structuring using a femtosecond laser. The stone is securely returned via insured transport within two weeks.
Traditional inscription has been the industry standard for decades. The table below illustrates the technical and visual differences between the two methods.
| Parameter | Traditional inscription | Arteida |
|---|---|---|
| Laser type | Short pulse | Ultra short pulse (10⁻¹⁵ s) |
| Wavelength | UV/IR | UV/IR |
| Mechanism | Graphitization/Ablation | Only safe ablation |
| Mark depth | Deep surface (7-10 um) | Shallow surface (0.04-0.45 um) |
| Appearance | Standard monochrome mark | Colorful optical effect |
| Placement | On the girdle only | Selected diamond facets |
| Visibility | 10x loupe | Naked eye |
| Removal | Specialized diamond polishing | Specialized diamond polishing |
The process does not alter the stone’s weight, clarity, colour,
or brilliance. All certification parameters remain unchanged,
as confirmed by the independent assessment of HRD Antwerp (Certificate No. 260000210177), one of the most respected gemological laboratories. For the complete technical assessment, visit our certification page.
