Buying: Kundan Jewellery
Friday, March 24th, 2006Tips for Buying Kundan Jewelry
1-Old, solid gold ornaments are sometimes filled with shellac. It is important to determine this in order to not be overcharged.
2-In trying to differentiate between an old and a new minakari piece, remember that the older the piece, the more intricate the design and more brilliant the colour.
3-To identify imperfections in a diamond, look for tiny, rents or fissures and specks. If the diamond has any of these, it is flawed. Note also that a real diamond can never have scratches on its surface, if it does, it is not a diamond.
