Bought Thousand-Dollar Natural Diamonds, Ended Up with Fakes

There is currently a trend in the market of swapping synthetic diamonds for natural diamonds. This causes considerable disadvantages for consumers. When buying natural diamonds.

The swapping of natural diamonds on the market

The Vietnamese jewelry market is becoming increasingly vibrant and full of appeal. Especially during pre-Tet shopping seasons or wedding seasons. Diamonds – known as the king of gemstones. Are always an indispensable choice on consumers' lists.

However, more and more products that are not natural diamonds are being sold as natural diamonds. Many types of artificial diamonds and synthetic diamonds are being introduced one after another to meet market demand. Even so, there is a clear difference between natural diamonds and other types of diamonds on the market.

The sophistication in today’s market

With greater sophistication, there is now also a trend of selling synthetic diamonds “disguised” as natural diamonds. Meanwhile, methods and machines for identifying synthetic diamonds are still not widely available. Even units and businesses operating in the industry are still confused when identifying them. The Deputy General Director of a company specializing in the trading of gold, silver, and gemstones in Ho Chi Minh City once shared: “During the period from 2015 to 2016, many types of synthetic diamonds appeared on the market.

And quite a few businesses and customers mistook them for natural diamonds. Because they came with fake certificates identifying them as natural diamonds. This not only causes unfair competition for businesses. But also harms consumers. It is also a challenge for the diamond market and diamond jewelry market.

Common swapping tricks

One of the tricks most commonly used by dishonest traders. Is mixing diamonds smaller than 3 ly with natural diamonds. In order to reduce the proportion of natural diamonds in the product. This type of synthetic diamond can easily be mixed with natural diamonds. It is very difficult to detect when set alternately with natural diamonds. When mounted on women’s jewelry as well as other types of accessories.

Detecting fake diamonds

In addition, these synthetic diamonds are manufactured with high sophistication. So ordinary appraisal machines and microscopes… have great difficulty detecting them. Only modern appraisal machines (costing tens of thousands of USD) can distinguish them. In reality, many consumers have suffered losses. Since most artificial diamonds are merely Cubic Zirconia stones (also known as synthetic CZ stones),… with low quality.

Master Doan Thi Anh Vu (from the University of Natural Sciences) shared that synthetic diamonds have physicochemical compositions completely identical to natural diamonds. However, they are produced in laboratories in a much shorter time compared to natural diamonds. And their value is only about 50% of that of natural diamonds. But if manufacturers and sellers are ambiguous, consumers may suffer losses.

How to avoid losses?

First, consumers need to equip themselves with knowledge about diamond appraisal methods and value. This helps users make careful and appropriate considerations for themselves. Thereby enabling them to assess value and distinguish the types of diamonds on the market and avoid situations of mistakenly buying counterfeit or inferior goods.
