How do diamonds distinguish between true and false?

Diamonds can be identified by fire color, feel, temperature, smell, test inlay, water drop identification and so on. Details are as follows:

Look at the fire color first.

The simplest and easiest way for ordinary people to identify diamonds is to observe them with the naked eye. The naked eye observation is mainly to observe the "fire color" of diamonds, that is, diamonds can reflect colorful light, mainly blue light. The more perfect the diamond is cut, the more dazzling the "fire color". The brilliance of imitations with high refractive index will appear stiff and dim.

Second, touch by hand

When buying a loose diamond, you can touch the surface of the diamond by hand to see if it is sticky. This is mainly because real diamonds have affinity for greasy, and they will feel sticky when touched by hand.

Third, the temperature.

Diamonds have the characteristics of "high thermal conductivity", so we can observe whether diamonds have temperature. If you put the diamond near your arm or face, can you feel a little warmth? If it's fake, it won't have the heat transfer effect of real diamonds, but it will be cool.

Fourth, exhale to distinguish authenticity.

When buying diamonds, you can also breathe on the surface of diamonds and imitation diamonds at the same time. The water mist condensed on the surface of the real diamond will evaporate faster than that on the imitation diamond. Of course, this identification method needs to bring a diamond imitation with you in advance as a comparison of the experiment.

V. Check and cooperate with the work

When buying diamond ornaments, it is not only necessary to distinguish the authenticity of diamonds, but also the quality of inlay technology affects the price of diamond ornaments to a great extent, which is related to daily wear in the future.

If you want to test the mosaic of diamond jewelry, you need a secret weapon, that is "stockings worn by beautiful women". Because exquisite inlays should fit perfectly, when buying diamond rings or other diamond ornaments from pointed inlays, it is best to use the diamond face of pointed inlays to pass through stockings. If it is very smooth and does not scratch at all, it proves to be an excellent mosaic process and can be purchased with confidence.

Six, water droplet identification

Clean and wipe the diamond to ensure that its surface is free of grease. Then, drop water on the diamond. If water drops can stay on a diamond for a long time, it is a real diamond. If the water drops disperse immediately, it may be a diamond imitation.
