How to Spot A Fake Diamond

In this world of advanced technology it is almost impossible to simply look at a diamond and determine whether it is real or not - especially if you don't know much about diamonds. There are some steps that you can take to avoid buying a fake diamond, however. First, only deal with reputable jewelers, and when you find a reputable jeweler, stick with them. Avoid buying diamonds or other jewelry from jewelers that you have never dealt with before in the past. If no certificate exists, walk away. Fake diamonds, such as zirconias, are usually set in low quality metals. Fake diamonds are not durable - natural diamonds, on the other hand, are the most durable stone on the planet. After purchasing a diamond, take it to another jeweler for appraisal. No two stones are alike.
