Buying a Certified Diamond

Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Rishabh Jain on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I will tell you how to know the enhancement of a diamond. Firstly I would like to suggest to you not to buy a non-certified diamond. You should always buy a certified diamond with the laser inscription on it. Laser inscription is basically the marking on the diamond that says this is the diamond and this is the certificate of this diamond with a number on it. Still if you want to buy a non-certified diamond I would like to tell you there are two types of enhancements. One is color enhancement and the other one is clarity enhancement. In clarity enhancement here, like you can see, these four dots. Basically clarity enhancement is done through laser. Here, you can see the four dots and this is the top view of the diamond. If you go to the side view of the diamond you will find a very thin line from the side coming down towards the culid. And from top if you see you will find small tiny dots. So this way you can know about the clarity of a diamond. The clarity enhancement of a diamond. The we come to the color enhancement. Color enhancement is done basically through two procedures. One is coating. And the other one is laser. In coating you can know the color of a diamond by just scratching with your nails. You can scratch with the nails and if it is a coated diamond the coating will come out. The 2nd method of enhancing a diamond is the laser. If it is a laser enhancement then it is tough for you to recognize. So I would prefer you to buy a certified diamond which will tell you if it is enhanced or not. Thank you."
