People usually have conflicting responses when it comes to being asked if wearing fake diamonds matter. Responses will rely on the interest of the persons being asked. Professionals cannot be fooled even for just a second when shown a fake one. When one buys a stone for investment or sells them for profit a person has to know how to separate the real from the fake. There was a time when scratching the glass means the stone is real but today it is known that even imitation stones can produce these scratches. Not everyone knows this latest information though.
An individual can make use of a combination tester that is compatible to both diamonds and Moissanite. Being shown a certification from prominent organizations can clear out doubts about the stone’s genuineness however double checking from such organizations might be a smart move. In these days when almost everything can be replicated it would be hard to know the difference between fake and real stones. As an investor it is wiser to create a checklist of what needs to be checked before purchasing a new diamond to add to the collection. Diamond blue that is given the “True Blue” status means it is of the finest quality.
A group of experts has used the ultraviolet exposure on the Hope Diamond to confirm what common knowledge that this is a genuine piece is. This serves as a way to compare the rest of the diamonds that are tested thereafter. Hope Diamond produces a reddish orange hue for around 5 minutes when expose to this light. Different results were produced coming from other synthetic blue diamonds. Some experts observe if the stone fogs up or not. Those who retain the fog are unreal. Real ones will disperse the heat.
A real gem produces grayish shadows and not rainbows no matter how attractive the rainbow producing ones emits light. Inclusions can find real gems like diamonds blue. These are small bit sized impurities. This does not make the gem fake. Perfectly clear no inclusions stones are most probably quartz. If there are real stones on hand, weight and compare these to the new stones. Real pieces are heavier. There are warning signs that can show that the jewelry is fake. If the stamp inside the setting does not exist and if the metal flakes or corrodes this means these are poor imitations and not the genuine article.
Real diamonds blue are mounted on open “back” settings to clearly see the back stamp. It is not advisable to hit the rocks since true ones will easily crumble and break apart. Good cut stone can increase its value while the reverse is true when it comes to poorly cut ones. In today’s age, the scratching test will not solidify the value of the stone. Cubic zirconia can scratch the surface of a mirror or glass just as the same as real diamonds. It can also damage the stone and degrade its value. Such methods of detecting real from the fake ones matter to know if it is a wise investment or not.
