Here We are going to mention some of the essential steps that you should follow before finalizing a gemstone for the jewelry. 

Flaws: A real gemstone is a natural element and the gemstone with flaws is believed as the real gemstone. Hence, before buying a gemstone, you must look for the flaws in the gemstone. There is no interference other than being mined, polished, and cut according to the jewelry. Whereas when we think about a synthetic and imitated gemstone then it tends to look more perfect and sometimes even flawless. Whenever you pick a choice then make sure you have picked up the right one!!!

Cost: If you are buying a gemstone from a dealer and if he is showing you a very good price then there is a possibility it might be a synthetic one. When the cost varies with respect to the cut, carat, clarity, and color, Real gemstones like sapphire, ruby, Panna, and diamonds are more expensive. Meanwhile, the fake gemstone has lower prices as compared to the real one. 

Sparkle and Shine: The shine or the brightness of a real stone will be definite as it's been used down by nature. Meanwhile, a synthetic or imitated gemstone shows more shine compared to a real gemstone. While it might seem as if it was the opposite, it is not. A real gemstone has a lesser shine or sparkle than a synthetic one. There is a fact that can differentiate a real and a fake gemstone which is that the shine of a real gemstone is permanent not like a fake one. 

Weight of The stone: A synthetic gem is lighter than a real gemstone and thus, a real gem always holds more weight than a synthetic one. Hence while you are comparing the gemstones then you can pick them up in your hands and then you can easily find out which is a real one or which one is fake. Sometimes it becomes too difficult to identify the gemstones with their weight but sometimes it works. 

Certified Gemstones:  Although these all the ways we have mentioned are the easiest way of identifying a gemstone, a certificate of a gemstone is always preferable. Every stone on the earth is gone through with different types of the process even if the polishing and cutting are involved and all of the information about the stone is mentioned in the certificate given by the lab after testing. Now by adding the lab treatment we can distinguish the synthetic one that may look real. Hence, make sure of the certificate and consult a gemologist as soon as possible.
