Looking for the most expensive way to spend a night out. Try going to dinner and a movie, just make sure that you take your diamond covered jacket and cell phone. Pics below.
Because of modern technology, it is becoming very easy to replicate a diamond and sell it as the real thing. There are a few things that you can do to help you spot a fake diamond.
• Only deal with jewelers that have a good reputation
Always do your research before making a large investment, reguardless of what it is you are buying
• Ask to see the diamond certificate
If there is no certificate, the diamond is not real. RUN!
• Check out the piece that the diamond is sitting in. It is more likely that jewelers will not put real diamonds in low quality metals
• Look for scratches or nicks- Diamonds are very durable and will not usually get scratched or nicked (especially if its supposed to be brand new)
• If you decide to purchase the diamond, make sure that there is a return policy. Immediately upon purchasing, take it to other stores and get it appraised. If there is any doubt by the person who does the appraising, return it and report them!
It is almost impossible to completely avoid being scammed. The majority of the people in the world are very honest, but do not think that everyone is on honest. Use your best judgment in any situation!
Before you decide to spend your hard earned money on a diamond, It is important that you are aware of some of the scams that surround the diamond industry. Learning how to avoid diamond scams will possibly save you a lot of money and headaches.
It is usually very easy to scam people who want to buy diamonds. The diamond dealers know that not many people know too much about diamonds. We usually only buy diamonds a couple times during our whole life-time, and the diamond dealers also know that if they can make a diamond look beautiful and present it with the right sales pitch, they could get just about any amount of money from customers!
One of the most common scams used in the diamond industry is called the Carat Total Weight Scam. The jeweler places a tag on the piece that only shows the total carat weight of all of the diamonds in the jewelry. The tag should instead show the separate weights for each diamond! This scam leads the customer to believe that the diamond is actually bigger than what it actually is. Whenever you are shopping fro a diamond, be sure to ask what the total carat weight of the diamond in the center is. Another thing to watch out for is when fractions are used to measure the weight. The dealers are allowed to round up on weight, so just because it says ½ carat, it could in fact be less than that.
Always make sure that you buy diamonds that come with a certification from a third party lab.

Clarity is an important aspect of a diamond, and it is important to know how to grade the clarity of a diamond before you buy one. It is actually quite easy to learn how to grade the clarity of a diamond. There are basically two things that you must understand: Diamonds with visual inclusions and blemishes, and those that are ‘eye clean’ meaning that there are no inclusions or blemishes that can be seen with the naked eye. From there, the clarity of a diamond is further broken down
into subcategories. Many people mistakenly think that diamond
clarity refers to how clear it is. This isn’t so. Clarity actually refers to the internal and external imperfections of the diamond. The best diamonds, of course get a grade of FL or IF – Flawless or Internally Flawless – meaning that it is perfect. A grade of I-1, I-2 or I-3 means that the diamond is imperfect, with a grade of I-3 being the worst.Other grades are VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond isvery, very slightly imperfect; VS1 and VS2, meaning the diamond is very slightly imperfect; SI-1 and SI-2, which means that the diamond is slightly imperfect.
Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in India at least 2,500 years ago. Their industrial usage in drill bits and engraving tools also dates to early human history. Popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, improved cutting, polishing techniques, and growth in the world economy. Diamonds are not normally used as a mainline store of value during times of crisis, due to their lack of fungibility and low liquidity. However, they may still be useful during times of hyperinflation.
Approximately 20% of mined diamonds are used in jewelry and 80% for industrial uses (such as lasers, drill bits and surgical equipment).
Chemical vapor deposition is now used to produce cultured diamonds which, unlike diamond simulants, require very close inspection to distinguish them from natural diamonds.
