Posted by Shauna Logan On December - 1 - 2011

Even if you think that recognizing an original jewel is a piece of cake for you, the matter may not be as easy as you think. Even jewelers fail many a times to spot fake jewels. Therefore you may not be able to recognize fake jewels all the time, especially if it is diamond. Diamond is one of the most expensive jewels. If you are going to buy diamond, make sure it is original because you are going to invest a good deal of money in it.

Diamond Ring Buying Guide

 You can follow the tips given below to ensure that the diamond you are buying is not fake.

  1. When you have come to a jewelry shop to buy diamond rings you should ask the jeweler about the diamonds. Reputed jewelers will never hesitate to provide you the detail information. Chances are rare that a reputed jeweler will offer you moissanite or cubic zirconia. So always buy from a reputed jeweler.
  2. Look at the setting of the piece of jewelry. If the stone is not original then it will be set in inferior metals whereas diamonds are always set in metals like gold, silver or platinum.
  3. Check for any wear and tear on the stone. Diamond is very durable. So an original should not have any kind of wear and tear. You should not be able to find any scratch on the stone.
  4. Before buying a diamond jewelry make sure it is certified by the Gemological Institute of America. This will ensure that the diamonds are original. GIA is the largest diamond grading authority globally. So you can be rest assured that a GIA certified thing will not be fake.
  5. You can also hire an individual appraiser to appraise the diamond before buying it.

Following these steps will help you to buy original diamond rings.
