How to Spot A Fake Diamond
 
With advanced technology, it is nearly impossible to glance at a diamond and determine whether it is real or not – especially if you don’t know much about diamonds. Steps are to be taken to avoid buying a fake diamond.

It is vital to only deal with reputable jewelers and stick with them. It is critical to avoid buying diamonds or other jewelry from jewelers that you have never dealt with before. A quick check to see the certificate for the stone. If no certificate exists, walk away.

Look at the setting that the stone is in. Usually, fake diamonds, such as zirconias, are usually set in low quality metals. Take a close examination at the stone. Fake diamonds are not durable – natural diamonds, on the other hand, are the most durable stone on the planet. Look for scratches or nicks.

Soon after purchasing a diamond, have it appraised by another jeweler. It is best to take it to two or three other jewelers for an appraisal to make sure that the appraisals are all fairly close. After finding out that you have purchased a fake diamond, you may be accused of making a switch when you return to the store of your purchase; therefore, it is important to have a certificate for the diamond. No two stones are alike.
