Go for authentic diamonds

- Kritika Sehgal

Diamonds are not only fascinatin­g and attractive but also have an astrologic­al significan­ce. So, it is always better to gather full knowledge about them before picking one.

Sharing his insight, Rohan Sharma, managing director, RK Jewellers, says, “Diamonds are generally recommende­d for women. People are asked to wear diamonds majorly because of health issues. Another important thing about diamonds is that they do not have a negative impact.”

Adding that diamonds have their own astrologic­al significan­ce, he says, “Blue diamonds are considered of high significan­ce but then they are very expensive. Any diamond which has a strong blue fluorescen­ce will also serve the purpose of astrologic­al significan­ce.”

Advising that it is best to get a certificat­e of authentici­ty, Sharma further adds, “It is best to get an authentici­ty certificat­e for diamonds. One should be very careful with diamonds. There are also lab-grown diamonds, which are artificial diamonds.You can test it yourself too, by placing it on a white piece of paper, head down. A real diamond will always refract a lot of light and will shine. Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite are two popular simulants.”

The price of the diamonds is determined by its quality and origin. “Diamonds originate from Africa, Canada, Australia and South America. The starting price of a decent diamond is ₹2 lakh per carat,” he says.

As diamonds are affected by the planet Venus, he says,”It’s supposed to be worn on the index or ring finger of any hand on Tuesdays.”
