How to look at real diamonds or fake diamonds is very easy. Many people may have wanted to know how to look at real diamonds. How do you really look at real diamonds?

If buying a real diamond ring means love and a stable relationship, does a fake diamond mean infidelity or insufficiency? What would you do if you later found out that the diamond ring you bought is worth only a fraction of its real value because it is a fake diamond? No one likes being cheated, but there are still some sellers who are dishonest to their customers by selling you fake diamonds at a cheap price but telling you that they are real diamonds. Therefore, before you buy a diamond, you should study carefully to know where you should buy a diamond.
To prevent you from being scammed when you buy diamonds.
Today, S Diamond will introduce a simple way to check real diamonds that you can actually use to ensure that you are getting what you pay for.

How to easily tell if a diamond is real or fake in 3 cases

• Large diamond weighing more than 18 carats (0.18ct).
• Small diamonds that are loose diamonds have not been set in a setting yet.
• Diamonds set into jewelry settings

How to view large diamonds

When buying a large, expensive diamond, I consider it a High Engagement Purchase that will take time to decide, sometimes days to weeks. Therefore, a good dealer should give you time to decide, not rush you to buy immediately.
As for checking if it is a real diamond or not, it is very easy. Because nowadays, most real diamonds, if they weigh more than 30 cents, usually come with a certificate from an institute. If you know that the diamond has a diamond certificate, you can use the method that S Diamond recommends in just 2 easy steps.

1. Ask for GIA/HRD/IGI certificates. Before you buy, ask the store if they have them. Any diamond store should be able to find you diamonds with certificates from reputable institutions such as GIA, HRD, or IGI. These institutions have a good reputation and are well-accepted in the industry. You need to make sure that the certificate is from a lab and not just one issued by the store.
2. Look at the edge of the diamond to find the Laser Inscription. To see real diamonds with a GIA certificate, I recommend that you use a 10x magnifying glass to look at the edge of the diamond to find the 10-digit Laser Inscription number, which will be engraved on one corner of the diamond. The number must match the number on the certificate you are holding to make sure that it really matches. This method of looking at diamonds may be easier for prong-set diamonds, which are diamonds that protrude from the ring frame. When looking into it, you will be able to see the number easily. But if it is a sapphire-set diamond, which means the edge of the diamond is on the inside, it will not be possible to see it.

How to look at small diamonds

For the average person, looking at small diamonds of 1-2 carats can be a bit difficult because even experts need to concentrate and look at them with a 10x magnification. Therefore, I will introduce a simple common sense method to see if a small diamond is real or fake.

1. Place the diamond on the ballpoint pen ink (Dot Test) This is the easiest way to test. Just draw a dot on a white paper with a blue ballpoint pen. Then, turn the diamond over so that the facet is facing down on the dot. A natural real diamond has 58 facets in total. For a round diamond, the ink will reflect in all directions. You will not be able to see the dot at all. But in the case of imitation diamonds or Cubic Zirconia (CZ), you will be able to see the ink color through clearly as if you just placed a piece of glass on top.
2. Diamond Tester Few people have access to a diamond tester unless they are in the industry. However, this tool is quite reliable for testing real diamonds. In the past, diamond testers measured the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the diamond. However, more advanced devices can also measure light reflection. If you have the chance, you should test both the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity because fake diamonds will have the same thermal conductivity as real diamonds, but will differ in terms of electrical conductivity.

How to view diamonds in settings

Looking at real diamonds in their settings can be a bit difficult using the methods mentioned above. We will use an easier method that may require pure experience in looking at them. If you have the opportunity to look at diamonds often, you will be able to tell easily.
Look at the scratches
First of all, let me warn you that you should not intentionally scratch your diamond with anything if you do not want to damage your diamond unnecessarily, regardless of whether your jewelry is real or fake. If you have old diamond jewelry stored in your closet, try to look at the diamond to see if it has any scratches. Because if it is a CZ diamond that has been worn regularly, it will definitely have scratches. But if it is a real diamond, there will be no scratches because diamond is the hardest material according to science. Therefore, there is a proverb that says diamond cuts diamond because there is only one way to scratch a diamond, which is to cut another diamond.
Take a breath
Real diamonds are good conductors of heat, so if you breathe into a diamond as you would a mirror, it will become cloudy for a short while and then return to its original clarity. However, since moissanite is a similar conductor of heat to real diamonds, this is not the best way to test it.
Loupe (10x magnification)
The best method that experts have used for a long time is to use a 10x magnification loupe to not only check if it is a real or fake diamond, but also to see the quality of the diamond based on the personal experience of the professional. In general, if you look at the loupe down into the diamond, if it is a fake diamond or Moissanite, you will be able to see a double line on each face of the diamond. In addition, if you look at the loupe down on the edge of the real diamond, you will see the diamond texture that is similar to ice stains or will see slightly rough grains, showing the true natural surface. But if it is CZ, you will only see a smooth surface because it is a diamond that is synthetically created by humans.
In conclusion, it is very easy to tell if a diamond is real or fake.
Knowledge about real diamonds is something that requires experience and effort in studying. Because diamonds have many qualities and shapes, some things are difficult to teach. Because what is harder than looking at real diamonds and fake diamonds is when you know that the diamond is real, you have to see how beautiful or valuable the diamond is. In addition, most diamonds that you buy from general diamond shops are usually set in a frame. Therefore, you need experience in looking at the cleanliness of the diamond and the clarity of the diamond in order to be able to assess the value of the diamond correctly.
If you are a general diamond buyer who is not an expert in looking at diamonds, you can use the methods of looking at real diamonds that I initially recommended to try to look at your own diamonds. However, if you are still not sure, you can choose to buy and make a decision at S Diamond so that we can help you analyze and advise you personally.
