Abstract: A method for rendering a gemstone traceable, includes the steps: providing an invisible marker, wherein the marker is unambiguously identifiable, fastening the marker in a placement location of the gemstone, and acquiring marking information that includes that this unambiguously identifiable marker is fastened to this gemstone. The marker can be transported to the placement location in a manner in which it is suspended in a carrier fluid. An additive, for example a primer or a starting material for a surface coating of at least a part surface of the placement location, can be added to the carrier fluid.
