How Can You Tell A Fake From A Real Diamond

Brought to you by asscher cut solitaire engagement rings.

Getting a professional to test the diamond is the simplest solution to the problem of determining whether a diamond is real or fake. With new better fake diamonds available, it is more and more difficult to identify a real diamond even for a professional with a jewelers’ loupes.

That said there are some rules of thumb. If you purchase an already set diamond, look at the bands metal stamp (10k, 14k, 18l, Pl, ect), as using a precious metal band increases the chances that the ring’s creator used a real stone as well.

If you have a jeweler’s loupe or a high magnification hand magnifying glass, look at the edges and girdle-band of the cut stone. Soft, rolled edges indicate a fake. You can also achieve this effect using a clear, smooth girdle at the junction of the facets around the heart of the stone.

Also you can use the loupe to look inside the stone for damage or nicks. It’s hard to replicate these features, which are naturally occurring and very elaborate at the microscopic level. Minor flaws that are all to commonly allowed through cannot be easily spotted by an amateur, and natural diamonds are most valued when they are least flawed.

Generally, weight may be utilized as a normal indicator for those types of things. Substitutions for real diamonds use many materials that are heavier or lighter and the most common substitute, cubic zirconium, is actually a bit heavier than the real gem. If you have a precision scale and samples of real diamonds you can perform a comparison.

Do not attempt scratching glass with your diamond. Don’t attempt acid tests that might be used on metals. Don’t try smashing a diamond — it will crush as well as any other crystalline substance and better than many.  Just fog the stone. A pure diamond shifts the heat very fast to clear the stone before you can see it. Its only a hint, nothing else and its not definite. Composition stones, that have a base of one material and a table of diamond, will pass the test and at the same time compare the valueless in terms of true worth.

A jeweler can tell you whether or not you got ripped off when you bought your “diamond”. That will mean you have to choose your jewelers carefully, and then ask them for paperwork for each gem. Every stone is unique, and solid documentation can pay off when trying to figure out yours.. A professional jeweler, working with trustworthy sources, would be dependable, helpful, and capable of ensuring you an absolute grade of appraisal.

Although chain jewelry stores are reputable firms, you may wish to consult a gemological laboratory when you desire an independent appraisal. Businesses such as these demonstrate the pros and cons of ass produced distribution and manufacturing. Chain jewelry stores while competent in themselves still will not give you the expertise of a higher end store or assessment business.

Make sure to take the time to learn the background, licensing, and experience of the assessor after checking online or in the yellow pages for advertisements. In order to get the best ring for you, you need someone experienced to guide you and that would be a jeweler who has experience in dealing in stones, someone who is a good business person and has a license to certify his experience. 

Whenever you bring in a stone you are well within your rights to ask that it be tested under your supervision. (to avoid swapping by dishonest jewelers). If you are turned down, turn around and just walk out. Ask for full documentation if you are purchasing a stone. To know the real diamond is very difficult and even professionals think twice and look three times.
