Ways to Spot a Fake Gemstone and the Reason to Purchase Directly from the Jewelry Artist

From Gold or Silver Artistic Jewelry to every other jewelry you wear, it must provide a stunning look along with the bare minimum metaphysical property of positivity. Buying gemstones and gemstone jewelry can be perplexing because prices for jewelry and stones that appear to be similar can vary greatly. Not all gemstones you find in the market today are real or original, and there many fake gemstones that are synthetic and get intermixed as a natural stone without being revealed. So follow these simple principles listed here to spot a fake gemstone:

Check the price before your purchase

If a gemstone dealer is offering gemstones for dirt cheap cost, it must be too good to be true. “Quality comes with a price” and a seasoned jeweler and a jewelry artist will agree with you that best authentic Gemstones are not available for a modest price. Real precious gemstones such as rubies and sapphires and diamonds as per GIA (Gemmological Institute of America Certification) will have varying costs based on their crystallographic structure for clarity, weight, carat, and color, hue etc., and hence you will find a comparative price which still may be on a higher range. Meanwhile, fake or imitated gemstones are usually less expensive which are easy to afford. Never buy a gemstone that is way too cheap, they certainly are not real.

Look for the flaws

People always wish to buy any product such as a handmade wire wrapped bracelet without flaws. But being too perfect is the sign to indicate that it is the fake one. It is important to remember that genuine gemstones are natural, and they will have flaws but may not be visible to the naked eye. Synthetic gems will appear more flawless. Classic example is Moldavite, an extra-terrestrial gemstone, is technically a glass that formed 15millions years ago and will have air bubbles. Moldavite  which can be easily mimicked and has been widely faked in the market recently. Remedy - have a magnifying loop and look for air bubbles apart from the color, fake moldavite seldom have air bubbles. As a rule of thumb, the quick and easy way to identify any gemstone is to use a magnifying glass followed by requesting for a gem certification, that one can always request for any gemstone from a laboratory!

Check the weight 

The gemstone's weight plays an important role in spotting against fake ones. Synthetic gemstones are generally denser than a natural gemstones and thus slightly heavier. Therefore, before you go to the jewelry store, ensure you have researched the weight of your desired gemstone on the internet. Normally any known gemstone of a certain dimension will have a certain weight that remains within the ballpark.  So, when you are at the store to identify a genuine gemstones, all you have to do is pick them up in your hand or weigh it on a scale and you will be able to tell if it is genuine. In addition to this, you can also ask the dealer to submit the gemstone laboratory certified report.
