If you’re like the majority of people, there is very little chance you have the necessary experience to enable you to pick out a fake diamond from the real thing.
And as technology continues to improve the fakes will get better and even experts are going to have a tough time of it.
So how do you prevent yourself from being tricked into buying a fake?
There are some techniques and strategies you can use (most of which are just commn sense) which will give you the confidence you need to be sure your diamond is authentic.
It is a good idea to buy only from reputable jewellers, and preferable from sone you’ve used before.
Become a loyal customer of such a jeweller if you can and they will be more likely to help you out when you need it.
If you don’t have a regular jeweller, ask some friends if they have someone they trust.
When buying a valuable gem you should always make sure you ask for the certificate for the stone, and you should not buy it if no such certificate exists.
If the setting for the diamond in the piece of jewellery looks on the cheap side, it may be of inferior quality and this can be an indication that the diamond may not be worth what is claimed.
Look closely at the diamond – are there any imprefections, cuts or scratches. There shouldn’t be if it is the eral thing.
As soon as you have made your purchase it is a good idea to take the diamond and get an appraisal from some other jewellers.
What you are looking for is some consistency in the appraisals and an average that is close to what you paid.
If these appriasals are far lower than what you paid, or they tell you the quality is not what you paid for, then you need to return it.
Having a certificate will give you some back up here if the jeweller tries to suggest that you are trying to scam him by repacing his diamond with a fake.
Every stone is different and having the certificate will help you to cover yourself in this situation.
Going through the process of purchasing a diamond can be exciting and daunting at the same time. Just use your common sense and you’ll ensure that the diamond you end up with is exactly the quality you believed it to be.
