The Allure of Diamonds: A Cut Above the Rest
Diamonds reign supreme for good reason; their brilliance stems from an exceptional combination of physical properties. Here's what distinguishes diamonds:
Matchless Hardness: Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs scale and thus make for one of the hardest natural substances found on earth - giving your bracelet exceptional durability during daily wear and tear.
Diamonds Are Light's Guardian: A diamond's internal structure allows it to capture light beautifully, creating the mesmerizing "fire" and brilliance covered in diamonds.
These characteristics make diamonds such a cherished stone; unfortunately, however, some simulants mimic these properties and present identification challenges.
Find the Truth: Methods to Recognize Real Diamonds
Though professional jeweller identification remains the best solution for definitive identification purposes, here are a few tests you can perform at home (though these methods should not be relied upon as 100% accurate):
The Sparkle Test: Real diamonds feature an iconic play of light. When testing your bracelet under good lighting conditions, look out for flashes of white, grey and occasional rainbow hues - including disco ball effects displaying pure rainbow colours that could indicate its authenticity or potentially indicate counterfeit diamonds.
The Fog Test: Diamonds conduct heat exceptionally efficiently. Gently blow onto a stone and observe any condensation formed, noting how real diamonds will quickly dissipate any fog while their imitation counterparts could take longer to clear away fogging up.
Important Notice: Please keep in mind that these tests cannot provide definitive answers; instead, for an exact diagnosis visit a professional jeweller.
