Is your diamonds real?


There is old saying “Every things that glitters is not gold”, so why not we implement this same saying on diamonds. Here is my small research by which you can check your diamonds are real or fake. Everybody knows diamonds are most costly stone in the world. Today, more than 100 tons of synthetic diamonds are produced annually and used almost solely in industry. As per research the quality of diamonds revolves around 4 Cs that is cut, color, and clarity and carat weight. By the law of 4 Cs this will help you to make best decisions in quick time.


There are other ways; you can check some documents like Certificate because whenever you buy diamonds with that you will get a certificate. A diamond certificate is issued by independent institutes like the Diamond High Council (HRD) International Gemological Institute (IGI) and the international GIA, in the certificate there are details mentioned such as color, clarity, polish, symmetry and florescence and that’s will be a written proof. Secondly you can check is the setting and mount, real diamond is not likely to be set in a cheap metal. Stamp inside the setting indicating real gold or platinum. Thirdly you can check the diamonds in x-rays because real diamonds doesn’t show up on an x-rays. Fourthly you can do a fog test this the easiest one put the stone in front of your mouth and fog it like you would a mirror. If it stays fogged for a couple seconds, it’s probably a fake, because in real diamond heat disperses instantaneously, and there are many more like heat test and etc but the above mention are quick and less time consuming test which will help you.
