Talk about diamond alternatives and misnamed
Foreword:
Diamonds have always been the favorite of women of all ages, its radiant love, its mysterious noble, but also because it symbolizes the unshakable love and was regarded as a token of love and declaration! With so many advantages that make diamonds noble and worthy, the market has been continually emerging with diamond-like alternatives to provide consumers with multiple choices to meet the psychological needs of different consumer segments.
You must have heard of South Africa drilling, the Soviet Union drilling, magic star drilling, Switzerland drilling, Thailand drilling, Australia rhinestone, crystal diamond, so many "diamond" is not what we are known to the Diamond?
The emergence of diamond substitutes is after diamonds are generally loved and increasingly popular. The earliest substitutes appeared in the Renaissance, the glass and quartz <Rock Quartz> made from a combination of colorless glass, then called the finished product for the "Crystal."
Until the eighteenth century, such glass products due to the improvement of production methods and the chemical elemental lead <Lead> has significantly changed, making the original bland glass adds luster and light. Popular jewelry today generally use such high-lead glass, and still use the "Crystal" to describe, and even the world-renowned brands in this high-lead glass to "crystal" in the name of jewelry and boutique jewelry industry.
A new alternative to glass intergranular garnets from the late nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century was colorless garnet on the crown, colorless glass on the bottom and colorless garnet on the crown for increased firmness. By the 1930s, the production of Synthetic Corundum and Synthetic Spinel was more suitable for jewelry because of its higher hardness.
Commercial production of synthetic rutile started in 1948 and strontium titanate was introduced in 1953. Both of these alternatives were made using the Verneuil process, to make. The two synthetics, which shine closer to the true diamond than their predecessors, are more attractive than the previous alternatives because of their high-dispersion optical effect, but the only downside is that they have a hardness of only six.
Until the 1960s due to the use of laser technology YAG <yttrium aluminate> output, YAG hardness of 8, the refractive index is 1.83, the dispersion is 0.026, in terms of all aspects of the terms than any of the previous alternative The closest access to the diamonds was therefore commonly used in jewelery, the most common of which was that YAG was modeled as a 69.42-carat drop-shaped diamond owned by superstar Elizabeth. YAG has always been used by the jewelry market and merchants are marketed under a variety of different names until the 1980s.
YAG sit tight on top of diamond substitutes for twenty years, while many other synthetic products try to defeat YAG to dominate are not available!
1974 A revolutionary alternative CZ <Cubic Zirconia Synthetic zirconia; commonly known as the Soviet Union drill> advent, and in 1975 pushed YAG boarded the diamond substitute for the throne as long as two or three decades.
CZ's refractive index of 2.150 is very close to the diamond of 2.417, 0.060 diamond 0.044 slightly higher than the diamond, which is why diamonds and CZ will show more colorful <Taiwan jewelry industry called flare> optical effect. CZ has a hardness of 8-1 / 2 so wearing is not easy because of the wearer's detriment, all of this is CZ can dominate for so long reasons.
The recent sale of crystal TV shopping tally is actually refers to the Soviet Union, which is artificial synthetic zirconium dioxide, another common name.
You may have heard of magic star, magic star drill, moissanite, in fact, they mean the same thing, that is, Moissanite <carbite>, as its name implies its chemical composition is carbon and silicon, is a laboratory The product under cultivation is the number one spot on natural diamonds since CZ has been replaced by a variety of diamonds that are closer to the true physical, chemical and optical effects.
Known as the "magic star stone", since its listing, it has let many learned professional jewelry practitioners planted a fight, and even did not hear this stuff, and even made a mistake they do not know.
To correctly distinguish the differences between CIGS and natural diamonds, for a well-trained jewelery scientist, the differences between "deity" and "divination" can be distinguished without difficulty by the detection of various instruments:
However, it is particularly worth noting that before the advent of Moissanite, the Diamond Tester was the fastest and most accurate tool for detecting diamonds, and now it has only been a loser because the thermal conductivity (heat dissipation) of Moissanite Very high, the Diamond Probe diamond response, so as a consumer you have to pay special attention to the next Miss sales veterans tell you "rest assured to buy, have been tested with a diamond probe", do not forget That "avatar" is laughing there miles! And to distinguish between diamonds and carbides To use a method called the carbite detector <Moissanite Tester> can easily tell what is diamonds, what is carbon.
Colorless zircon became the new favorite
In the recent two to three years, the jewelry industry has made great use of colorless zircon <Zircon> as a replacement for diamonds.
We even see the world's leading jewelry companies that use zircon as a stone inlaid with jewelry because the zircon has a near-2 High refractive index, and is a natural gem, natural identity always allow consumers more cherish.
Synthetic diamonds have always challenged the jewelery appraisers. The above alternatives no matter how natural diamonds compare to natural diamonds. Synthetic diamonds have the same physical, chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds.
Synthetic synthetic diamonds have also come out and consumed One more option is the blessing, or more homework to be done in order to avoid losses, in fact, the jewelry industry and consumers should work together.
In conclusion:
1 Soviet drill, crystal diamond, cristobalite are the same substance, their scientific name is made of zircon zircon <Cubic Zirconia>
2 magic star drill, magic star stone, moissanite are commonly known as the commercial carbon
