It's not a deja vu, this
is the question already asked by the International Gemological
Institute experts about a year ago when they were given lots of
undisclosed synthetic diamonds for grading. A number of gems was
record – 600 items at a time. Before IGI dealt with synthetic
diamonds but with no more than a couple of stones. Logically, the
reaction to such a situation was too more fast and publicized. Even
though there is a number of compact diamond detecting tools
it's still impossible to differentiate synthetic diamonds from
natural stones. They look identical.
It sounds like somebody
marked that well and took advantage of top-notch quality of synthetic
diamonds again! There are two victims this time: the Japanese diamond
company and the Mumbai-based diamond trader. Both claimed to buy
parcels of original polished diamonds but a half of them were
detected as 'synthetic'. There is low chance a diamond detecting tool
has been broken in both companies.
