How can jewelers tell if jewels are fake?

Answer 1

Determining if gemstones and jewelry are genuine or not involves many things. For gemstones, the appearance of the stone under magnification, the way it reflects light, its weight relative to its size, and other properties are used to properly identify them.

It is not true that scratching a gemstone with a diamond will prove that it's fake. All gemstones (except other diamonds) can be scratched by a diamond. Please don't try this: you'll just ruin your jewelry!

Answer 2

A fake ring will have lots of color to it. You should also be able to see flaws inside a real diamond such as small air pockets. Real diamonds also have code numbers on them which only a diamond specialist can see with a magnifying glass. If you take your ring to a jewelry store thay can tell you. Do not take it to a pawn shop. it is not shiny

There are a number of different ways to tell. The quickest and easier is the fog test: a real diamond will disperse the heat from your breath for immediately, the setting: such as 10k, 14k or 18k stamps inside the setting, anything with a C.Z (cubic zirconia) usually indicates that the diamond is not real, a jewelers loupe and also if it has rainbow reflections if you look at it from the top.
