Diamond engagement rings
Since ancient times, wearing diamond jewelry has been a guarantee of prosperity. The appearance of this royal diamond on the ring finger of the hand indicated the conclusion of a marriage union or engagement. Every girl in her heart dreams of the appearance of such a special gift in her collection!
Features of the stone
A diamond is a diamond that has been specially processed into a special shape. To determine how close the stone is to the ideal, a special rating system "4C" will help. These are clarity, cut, color and carat.
We often hear the phrase "pure diamond". This speaks of unconditional quality, the absence of marriage and flaws.
Usually, the weight of a stone is estimated in carats. One carat is 0.2 grams. The famous "princess" diamond shape has appeared relatively recently. It was discovered by Arpad Neji in 1961. Currently, it is she who is the most popular.
Cut is also an important criterion for determining quality. Nowadays, stones with 57 facets are often used. Moreover, this cut began to be used already in the 17th century. However, the masters failed to achieve results. Today, such products delight their owners with their splendor. Changing the number of facets directly affects the shine of the product we love so much.
Diamond is a unique stone. Even with prolonged wear, no cracks or abrasions appear on the product. Quality assurance is what the authenticity of a product means.

What to do? At home, try the following guidelines:
- Look through the stone near the light source. The transmitted rays should be perfectly reflected from all faces, as if in a mirror. It will not be possible to see the light, only one luminous point in the center.
- Take the ring and slide the stone over the glass. If it's real, there will be a scratch. If you want to make sure - just then wipe off the resulting strip with a wet finger. If successful, most likely the stone is a fake.
- The most terrible step. Take sandpaper and run it over the surface of the stone. Nothing will happen to the present. Checked.
- Jewelers and appraisers can professionally distinguish an original from a fake. Interestingly, the original will never miss the laser light. In ultraviolet light, all facets give an even bright glow. If you skip the X-rays, then the image on the film will not work after the release.
- When buying, pay attention to the quality certificate. It is issued by the Hematological Institute. All accompanying documents for the product must be filled out correctly, indicating the place where it was manufactured. Choose more trusted and well-known manufacturers.
