How to identify real Diamond Jewellery: A Comprehensive Guide
Diamonds have long been associated with luxury, sophistication and enduring beauty. Yet todays markets are flooded with imitation stones making it tougher to distinguish between counterfeit diamond jewellery and real. Whether you’re a collector or a first time shopper, being able to identify diamond jewellery is essential. This guide will delve into the factors that can assist you in confirming the legitimacy of diamonds ensuring that your investment is both prudent and valuable.
At Surana Jewellers, we believe that each piece of diamond jewellery narrates a tale of sophistication, timeless allure. Our thoughtfully curated collection showcases a range of diamond jewellery that embodies elegance while honoring traditional artistry. Hailing from the city of Jaipur we present an array of designs guaranteed to add a hint of glamour, to any event.
- The Four Key Factors; Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight
The Four Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight—are recognized benchmarks, for evaluating the caliber of diamonds. Familiarizing yourself with these standards can aid in determining if a diamond is genuine and top notch.
When it comes to diamonds the cut plays a role, in how it shines. A cut diamond reflects light brilliantly giving off a sparkle. On the hand if a diamond lacks that sparkle it might be poor or even fake.
Clarity is about checking for any flaws (inclusions) or external blemishes in a diamond. While real diamonds may have some imperfections, they are usually too small and not easily noticeable. If a diamond seems flawless it could be a fake one too.
Diamonds are in colors ranging from colorless to light yellow or brown. The valuable ones are colorless as they allow more light to pass through making them shine brighter. If you notice a tint in a diamonds hue it might not be genuine.
Carat weight refers to the size of the diamond. Diamonds are harder to cut and therefore more valuable. However keep in mind that a large diamond with poor cut, clarity or color is worth less than a higher quality one.
At Surana Jeweller,s we carefully assess each diamond based on these four Cs to ensure that every piece in our collection meets authenticity standards.
- Certification:
Another reliable method for confirming the authenticity of diamond jewellery is, by verifying its certification. Reputable gem labs, like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI) issue certificates detailing a diamonds cut, clarity, color and carat weight.
When buying diamond jewellery always request the certificate. A real diamond will have a certificate confirming its authenticity and describing its quality accurately. At Surana Jewellers, we make sure every piece of diamond jewellery comes with a certification from a trusted gem lab giving you assurance and trust in your purchase.
- Fog Test:
The Fog Test is a way to check if a diamond is genuine. Hold the diamond near your mouth. Breathe onto it to create fog. Real diamonds disperse heat fast, so the fog should vanish instantly. If it lingers for some seconds the diamond might be fake or synthetic.
While not foolproof the fog test can serve as a check before consulting a jeweler for further verification.
4: Setting:
Examining the setting and mount of the diamond can also offer insights, into its authenticity.
Genuine diamonds are commonly placed in high quality metals, like platinum, gold or white gold. Look for a hallmark or stamp that shows the metals purity level (10K, 14K, 18K, PT950). If the setting is crafted from metal or lacks a hallmark the diamond might not be authentic.
At Surana Jewellers, we take pride in creating our diamond pieces using top notch metals to ensure that the setting enhances the allure and worth of the diamond.
- Perform a Water Test
Another way to verify a diamond is through a water test. Fill a glass with water. Gently drop the diamond into it. Authentic diamonds are heavy. Will sink to the bottom while fake diamonds or replicas may float or sink slowly.
Although the water test is simple to conduct it’s advisable to combine it with methods to confirm the diamonds authenticity.
- Consult an Expert
If you have doubts about whether a diamond’s genuine, its best to consult an expert for evaluation. A knowledgeable jeweller can utilize tools such, as a loupe or microscope to scrutinize the diamonds structure and detect any irregularities.
At Surana Jewellers our skilled gem experts are well trained to authenticate diamonds, with precision. We are dedicated to delivering our clients the authentic diamond jewellery pieces.
