In our difficult time, when fraud is almost not punishable and very profitable, the consumer has to be much more careful when buying, for example, jewelry. How to distinguish a glass fake from a gem if you are not a professional in this field? There are ways.
Instruction manual
1
Glass fakes will always be warmer to the touch. Try a stone with the tip of your tongue, having previously taken it, for example, with tweezers (so as not to heat by hand) This stone should be cold.
2
If you look through the diamond at the light, then, due to the specifics of the reflection of light from its faces, you will see only a bright point in the stone.
3
Diamond is a very hard mineral and, unlike fakes, is capable of leaving scratches on glass and other polished stones.
4
Treated topaz will be slightly “soapy” to the touch. In addition, his fakes, often look much more attractive and larger than the stones themselves (the same applies to rubies).
5
Grenades have an insignificant magnetic effect, by which they can be (although not simply) identified.
6
If the veils of the emerald are twisted - in front of you, for sure, synthetics.
