Can a Jeweler Tell if a Diamond is Real?

So you've found the diamond of your dreams, or perhaps you've inherited a beautiful stone from a family member. The sparkle is mesmerizing, but the question arises-how do you know if it's a real diamond? At Robinson's Jewelers, we understand the importance of this query, especially when it involves something as precious as a diamond.

Before you jump to conclusions, let's explore how professionals in the industry differentiate between a real diamond and a synthetic or fake one.

Methods of Diamond Verification

There are several ways jewelers use to identify whether a diamond is real or not:

• Loupe Examination
• Heat Testing
• Water Test
• Electric Conductivity

What Makes the Difference?

Real diamonds have unique characteristics. For example, their sparkle is distinct and not easy to replicate. They also have imperfections, known as 'inclusions,' which are usually absent in fake diamonds.

Does Certification Matter?

Yes, a certification from a reputable gem lab can provide an accurate grading for your diamond. This is the most reliable way to know you're getting an authentic diamond.

Is It Worth Getting Your Diamond Checked?

Absolutely! Knowing that your diamond engagement ring or necklace is genuine brings peace of mind. It also has implications for estate and vintage jewelry, where authenticity can significantly impact value.
