How to choose a diamond pendant to get a quality real diamond?

Learn the 4Cs of Diamonds Before You Buy

In selecting a quality diamond pendant, you must consider the 4Cs of diamonds as follows:

• Carat (Carat) The weight of a diamond is measured in carats, with one carat equal to 0.2 grams, and heavier diamonds will be more expensive.
• Color (Color) Diamonds come in a wide range of colors, from pure white gold to gold and pink gold. However, the most expensive diamonds tend to be white or yellow gold.
• Cut is the most important factor in determining the beauty and brightness of a diamond. A good cut helps create a balance between refraction and light reflection, giving the diamond a sparkling, luxurious look and beautiful shape.
• Clarity is a factor that indicates the purity and quality of a diamond. Diamonds with high clarity have very few blemishes or inclusions, meaning they are of higher purity and quality than diamonds with blemishes.

Check the diamond certificate

When choosing a diamond pendant, you should look carefully to see if the diamond has a certificate issued by a reliable institution such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America), IGI (International Gemological Institute) or HRD (HRD Antwerp). The certificate should provide complete details about the 4Cs and include a diamond identification number that can be used to trace the source.

Expose the diamond to sunlight or UV light.

When a diamond is viewed under bright light, a real diamond will sparkle and reflect light evenly every piece, without changing color. On the contrary, if it is a fake diamond, the reflection will not be consistent because there will be points where the light cannot pass through, causing the color to be inconsistent or spread out and look dull and not sparkling.

Weigh the diamond before purchasing.

In general, fake diamonds weigh about half as much as real diamonds, as most fake diamonds are made of zircon, garnet or synthetic glass, which are heavier than natural diamonds.

Place the diamond face down on the paper with the letters.

Real diamonds have a very high refractive index, so when looking through a diamond, you will only see the dispersion of light, not the objects or letters beneath. At the same time, if a fake diamond is placed on a piece of paper with letters, you will be able to see the letters clearly through the diamond.

Breathe on Diamonds (Foggy Test)

If it is a real diamond, the diamond will not fog up or condense into water vapor because diamond is a material with a dense crystal structure, without pores, so it cannot absorb moisture or water vapor. But if it is a fake diamond, when breathing on it, it will fog up into a circle or have water vapor on the diamond surface because the material is not dense like a real diamond.

Drop the diamond pendant into the water

When a diamond pendant is dropped into water, a real diamond will sink to the bottom of the container due to the high density of the material. However, diamonds made from synthetic sapphires, plastic, crystal glass, or other minerals have a lower density than real diamonds, so they float on the surface of the water.

How to choose a diamond pendant that suits you

Choose according to the shape of your face

• Oval face is suitable for small diamond pendants in teardrop shape or other elongated shapes because it will help to blend in with the face.
• Round faces should choose diamond pendants in square or oval shapes to add dimensions and make the face look longer.
• Heart-shaped faces are suitable for round diamond pendants because they will make the face look more gentle.
• Square faces should choose rounded diamond pendants, such as teardrop or oval, to soften the face.
