Natural Black Diamonds Have Taken Quite the Center Stage in The Jewelry Business. Its Unique and Stunning Beauty Has Increased Its Popularity, and It Is Even Vying for A Position as The Center Stone in Black Diamond Engagement Ring. Before Designing Jewelry Must Be Required to Identify a Real Raw Black Diamond.

However, if You Are Unfamiliar with How to Identify Raw Black Diamond Features, Structure, and Components, One Might Deceive You or Lead You Astray. People Can Trick You Into Thinking that A Lower-Quality Stone or A Gemstone Is a Diamond when It Is an Entirely Different Jewel. To reduce the Possibility of Buying Black Diamond Jewelry that Loses Its Shine and Turns Grey After Six Months or A Year. It Is Fundamental to Know the Difference Between a Natural Black Diamonds and Black Loose Moissanite. For this Reason, It's Essential to Understand how To Identify Black Diamond Stone.

The First Test You Can Do Is to Observe the Surface of The Natural Black Diamonds. No Matter how Shiny the Loose Black Diamonds Looks, It Always Comes with A Few Nicks and Scratches on Its Surface.

If It Doesn't Have Any Minor Ports or Cuts, It Is Not a Genuine Black Diamond Stone. A True Raw Black Diamond Never Has a Smooth Surface. You Can Use a 10x Loupe to Examine the Surface of The Diamond. A loupe is a Type of Magnifying Glass Used by Jewelers and Watchmakers that Allows You to investigate the Loose Black Diamonds on A Microscopic Level. You Can Find a loupe on Amazon or in Any Other Shops at Reasonable Prices.

Moissanite Has High Clarity and Is Nearly Flawless, Whereas Most Natural Black Diamonds Have Imperfections. When inspecting the Stone, One Should Look for Tiny Signs of Imperfection to Signal a Genuine Carbonado Black Diamond. The Window Effect of Loose Black Diamonds Can Also Give Insight Into Their Validity. Natural Black Diamonds Never Have Even Surfaces, Unlike Moissanite.

Alternatively, You Can Use a Carbide Scriber Blade to Test the Diamond's Surface. When An Authentic Diamond Is Scratched, Nothing Happens to The Diamond's Surface. The Reason Is that Raw Black Diamonds Are One of The Hardest Naturally Occurring Minerals.

 

 

If the Stone in Question Is Not an Authentic Loose Black Diamonds or Is Loose Moissanite, the Experiment Will Damage the Stone. The reason Is that The Carbide Scriber Possesses a Hardness of 9.5 While the Hardness of The Moissanite Is 9.25. This Kind of Moissanite Often Fools Many, Including the Chinese Testers Whose Carbide Scribers Have Even Grades and Readings Only. If The Hardness Is More than Nine, It Shows the Loose Black Diamonds Is Authentic. Therefore, Using Testers Like the Diamond Knight and Presidium Multi Tester3 Is Highly Preferable.
