Full interpretation of the "return to nature," the beautiful my eternal ladies
A
lot of friends in the purchase of jewelry, we often hear the "diamond"
of the word, meaning probably understand that imitation diamonds. In fact, just rhinestones imitation diamonds collectively, and stones and there are many distinguished. So-called "diamond" in the end what is it? What's the difference between it and the real diamonds have it? Here it is that everyone in the market is usually seen "diamond" categories:
1,
Glass: glass ground into a fake diamond easily distinguished because of
its low refractive index, there is no real diamonds that kind of
flashing colored lights, a little experienced people see at a glance. This "diamond" is often used to compare cheap jewelry.
2,
synthetic spinel: it lacks a diamond of flashing colored lights, it was
immersed in diiodomethane, its outline will be blurred. The real diamonds are very clear outline.
3, synthetic sapphire: colorless transparent synthetic sapphire after pondering also be used as a substitute for diamonds. But it almost disappear in the "diiodomethane," while the edge of real diamonds Dark, very clear.
4,
crystal and topaz: transparent two natural mineral crystals, after
pondering the diamond are similar, but lack diamond bright color of
fire. And they are "non-homogeneous body", while the diamond is "homogeneous
body", with the polarization analyzer easier to distinguish.
5, zircon: Before artificial cubic zirconia appear, zircon is the best diamond substitute. Zircon
has a strong birefringence, i.e., it has two refractive index, and the
refractive index and the large difference between the two. Resulting
a very special optical phenomena, when observed with a magnifying glass
pondering good zircon Faceted stones, it can be seen from its surface
and the top surface of the ridge at the bottom of a clear double shadow. The diamond because it is "homogeneous body", no double image phenomenon.
6,
cubic zirconia (ie, "the Soviet Union Diamond"): This is the first of
the former Soviet Union launched the best diamond substitutes or bogus
products, man-made compound, no natural minerals. Because cubic zirconia in refractive index, dispersion and other aspects of natural diamonds is very close. But its low hardness (8.5) specific gravity of 1.6-1.7 times the
diamonds of 5.6-6, and the thermal conductivity is much lower than
diamond, it can still be used with the instrument to accurately
distinguish the diamond.
Now
we finally understand the concept of "diamond" of the bar, in addition
to "diamond" in the glass relatively easy to distinguish, the other
"Rhinestone" in general the most important thing to look shiny. In
general, under natural light, diamond brilliance is the "diamond"
imitation incomparable (There are exceptions, such as strontium titanate
fake diamonds and Moissanite, even more than the true brilliance of
diamonds). I
suggest that you, in the daily purchase, are not allowed to really draw
the line, do not buy or security testing organization under certificate
issued by the authority with a professional before you buy.
