Identifying Diamonds Diamond Is One of the Most Important Gemstones Traded in the World Today GEMMOLOGY Identifying Diamonds Diamond is one of the most important gemstones traded in the world today. Diamond has all properties in the superlative state- best luster, highest hardness, highest thermal conductivity among gems and these properties help in identification and form the basis for some of the tips to check whether the white stone is a diamond. t is said that Alexander the stone then do so only with a stone case of simulants, the line will Great found a valley full of both holder or tweezer.

Finish—Polish and Symmetry In the GIA Cut Grading System for standard round brilliant To determine the relationship between finish and overall diamonds, finish (for Polish and Symmetry features) is cut quality, GIA conducted extensive observation testing factored into the final overall cut grade as follows: of numerous diamonds using standardized lighting and viewing conditions.

  • Taaffeite, a New Beryllium Mineral, Found As a Cut Gem- Stone.I
    765 Taaffeite, a new beryllium mineral, found as a cut gem- stone.I By B. W. ANDERSON,B.Sc., F.C.S., C. J. PAYNE, B.Sc. Laboratory of the Diamond, Pearl, and Precious Stone Trade Section of the London Chamber of Commerce. and G. F. CLARINGBULL,B.Sc., Ph.D., F.G.S. With microchemical analysis by M. H. HEY, M.A., D.Sc. Department of Mineralogy, British Museum. [Read June 7, 1951.] ------ N October 1945 Count Taaffe,2 a brilliant if unorthodox Dublin I gemmologist, in the course of examining a motley collection of gem- stones, came across a small mauve stone which puzzled him greatly. The stone had the appearance, and most of the characters, of spinel, but afforded clear evidence of double refraction. As recounted below, this stone was later found to belong to an entirely new mineral species-the only c~se hitherto known where a mineral has been first encountered as a faceted gem. Since the precise circumstances of such a discovery have both human and technical interest, it seemed best to obtain from Count Taaffe his own account of the event. This is accordingly given below before pro- ceeding to the more formal presentation of the data on the new mineral, which has been named taaffeite in honour of its discoverer. On one of my rounds in search of gems I came to Mr. Robert Dobbie, watchmaker and working jeweller in Fleet Street, Dublin; he allowed me in his genial way to go through all his boxes in which he kept stones, to pick out any that were real-most of them were glass-and to make him an offer for them.

  • Simultaneous Diamond, White Sapphire & Moissanite
    SIMULTANEOUS DIAMOND, WHITE SAPPHIRE & MOISSANITE TESTER NEW ADVANCED EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY RECOMMENDED by CHARLES & COLVARD CREATED MOISSANITE READ BEFORE USING The new moissanite that was introduced in late 2015 has changed. It can no longer be easily visually identified. It is now D-E-F “colorless”, with few inclusions. More importantly, standard diamond/moissanite testers will identify it as diamond since it is now only very slightly electrically conductive. The UltraTester 3+ uses new technology and is calibrated to identify this faint property. Be aware that body oil is also electrically conductive. Due to the tester’s enhanced sensitivity, dirty diamonds may test as moissanite. To avoid false/positive readings on dirty diamonds, ALWAYS CLEAN THE STONE on a cloth prior to testing. Periodically, also clean any accumulated body oil off of the probe tip by gently rubbing it on uncoated paper - SEE MANUAL. NEED HELP? Call GemOro at 800.527.0719 for immediate assistance. The GemOro UltraTester 3+ is the ultimate tester for diamond fraud protection that’s exclusively RECOMMENDED BY CHARLES & COLVARD, the manufacturer of created moissanite! The UltraTester 3+ features NEW ADVANCED EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY capable of identifying the widest range of the electrically conductive moissanite material available, including the new super-low electrically conductive moissanite. OPERATING PROCEDURE & OWNERS MANUAL Congratulations on your purchase of the UltraTester 3+ from GemOro Superior GEMORO ULTRATESTER 3+ 2 Instruments, the most trusted name in gemological instrumentation for the jewelry industry.

Another man-made gemstone called synthetic Moissanite was introduced as a diamond simulant in the late 1990s.

Shape contrib- utes to the messages that a diamond sends about the personality of the one who gives or wears it. When presenting this aspect of cut, you need to match the images and messages of the diamonds you show with the customers you serve. With branded diamond cuts, you may need to explain other elements that add appeal or value. When you’ve accomplished these objectives you’ve taken an important step toward closing the sale.

  • Diamond Terminology Guideline
    DIAMOND TERMINOLOGY GUIDELINE INTRODUCTION AND REFERENCE Nine of the leading diamond industry organisations (AWDC, CIBJO, DPA, GJEPC, IDI, IDMA, USJC, WDC and WFDB) have developed the present guideline to encourage full, fair and effective use of a clear and accessible terminology for diamonds, synthetics diamonds and imitations of diamonds by all sector bodies, organisations and traders. This Diamond Terminology Guideline serves as a reference document for the diamond and jewellery trade when referring to diamonds and synthetic diamonds. It is built on two internationally accepted standards: the ISO 18323 Standard (“Jewellery – Consumer confidence in the diamond industry”) and the CIBJO Diamond Blue Book. DEFINITIONS Ø A diamond is a mineral created by nature; a “diamond” always means a natural diamond. Ø A synthetic diamond is an artificial product that has essentially the same physical characteristics as a diamond. Ø An imitation diamond, also named a diamond simulant, is an artificial product that imitates the appearance of diamonds without having their chemical composition, physical properties or structure. Ø A gemstone is a mineral of natural origin that is used in jewellery for reasons of combined beauty, rareness and intrinsic value. TERMINOLOGY Ø When referring to synthetic diamonds: - Use one of the following authorised qualifiers when referring to synthetic diamonds: “synthetic”, “laboratory-grown” or “laboratory-created”. - Do not use abbreviations such as “lab-grown” and “lab-created”. - Do not use the following terms: “cultured diamonds” and “cultivated diamonds” as “cultured” and “cultivated” refer exclusively to organic/biogenic products. - Do not use the following terms: “real”, “genuine”, “precious”, “authentic” and “natural” as those apply exclusively to natural minerals and gemstones.
