People may attempt to sell you fake diamonds. The logic behind this is simple, economics – by misrepresenting the fact, they can make the kind of money which they would be able to earn by selling a real diamond. However, there are sellers who do not do this. For instance, you will not findsuch Beverly Diamond complaints, as this jeweler is on the up and up when it comes to representation.

This jewelry retailer represents a moissanitegem or even a clarity-enhanced diamond as it is. A clarity-enhanced diamond is a real one, whose flaws have been compromised by way of treatment. This jeweler does not hide this fact from the customer, nor do they try to pass a moissanitering as a diamond piece. Due to these reasons, there are noreal Beverly Diamond BBB complaints making the headlines. What do make, however, are stories of fake diamonds being passed off to the customer as something real.

To avoid being involved such a situation, you should learn more about diamond simulants.

Cubic Zirconia

This is the most common kind of fake diamond. Abbreviated as CZ, it is a gemstone consisting of zirconium dioxide.

It can be quite a challenge to spot the difference between cubic zirconia and a diamond. The former is a hard gemstone, but it is not just as hard as the latter. The surface of CZ can be scratched, which causes it to become dull over time, while a diamond keeps its structural integrity over time.

Moissanite

This naturally occurring mineral is very rare. Therefore, all moissanite gemstones are now made in a laboratory. Moissanite has more sparkle than a diamond, and it is almost just as hard. Owing to the cost of moissanite, you will not often find someone attempting to sell it to you as a diamond. You will rather see honest and sincere jewelers offering it to you as an alternative for a diamond. This is why Beverly Diamond complaints regarding misrepresentation do not exist, but instead there existrave reviews of affordable diamond substitutes from this jeweler.

White Sapphire

This naturally occurring gemstone is colorless. It is not as hard as a diamond, and often has a little bit haziness. However, sapphire gemstones are precious, and these are expensive enough that you likely will not see themsubstituted fordiamonds by those who try to swindle you.

Glass

Glass has some sparkle and is clear, so it can expectedly look slightly like a diamond to the naked, untrained eye. However, on closer inspection, a trained eye will realize that its brilliance and toughness are nowhere near those of a diamond.

White Topaz

This gemstone could also resemble a diamond a lot.However, it is a soft gemstone which can easily get scratched and become dull. It is extremely cheap, though, costing just a fraction of what a diamond would cost you.

Zircon

This is another naturally occurring gemstone. It appears colorless and in various colors. Zircon is not just as hard as a cubic zirconia gem. If you want to have a more affordable substitute for a diamond that is colored in your ring, then zircon is one of your options.

Fakes Are Not Always a Bad Option

Some people do not care whether they have a faux diamond, provided that it looks stunning in their engagement ring. Some fancy the thought of being able to find an affordable and big simulantversus a small and more expensive real diamond. Just be sure that you know exactly which stone you are buying. Remember, even alternative gemstones come with a certificate of authenticity. If you are ever in doubt about what it is, just ask for this certificate to verify that.
