5 Unique and distinctive feature of Diamonds

Diamond is the token of love you would want to gift to your loved ones. These stones are precious because of their unique and distinguishing features. Today, diamonds can be made through several synthetic methods as well, but the main concern as a buyer is not the method but the product. Here are the top five unique and distinctive features you will find in every diamond from Flawless Fine Jewelry.

Reflection

The bright and shiny look of a diamond is because of a property called total internal reflection. Diamonds are cut in a certain way to trap all the light falling on the surface. This light encounters multiple reflections within the stone and is the sole reason for the sparkling look of a real diamond. Every diamond at Hatton garden jewellers is sharply and precisely cut in such a way to reflect every ray of the light incident. 

Hardness

A real diamond is well known for its extreme hardness. In fact, it is in the hardest non-metal to be found on Earth. This feature is a testing parameter to differentiate between a real and a fake diamond. A real diamond won’t break even if tested with Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir). You can probably guess the hardness of this non-metal by the fact that a diamond is used for cutting another diamond. If your diamond shatters on taking a fall, then you certainly have invested your hard-earned money in a fake stone. Testing the hardness of a diamond at a store can be quite a tricky task, but we are best jewelers in Hatton Garden, ensure thorough testing of each diamond, and easily perform a test or two in front of your eyes. 

Coolness

A genuine diamond is a very bad conductor of heat and electricity and thus will not heat up even by the flames. A real diamond, in the case of encountering heat for a prolonged time, will maintain its coolness. On the other hand, a fake one will heat up or even burst when subjected to high heat levels for an extended period. We at Hatton garden jewelers ensure the authenticity of your diamond by passing it through several tests on of which is the extreme heat test. 

Scratch Resistant

Another unique and distinguishing feature that sets out a real diamond from other stones is its resistance to scratches. A pure and natural diamond can’t be scratched easily, and this can be easily used to identify a real diamond from a cluster of synthetic ones. If your precious stone gets scratched easily, then, unfortunately, you have your hands on the fake one. 

Transparency

A real diamond is nowhere near-transparent, whereas a fake one holds a perception of transparency. Real diamonds are often mistaken for truly transparent, but the truth can’t be further. If you are not able to see through your diamond, it is indeed a good sign. 

Conclusion

The employees at Hatton garden jewellers are well trained and have developed an eye for the real diamond. They can help you choose the right stone that you need and test its authenticity in front of you.
