How To Tell If You Have A Treated Diamond

How do you tell if you have a treated diamond?

The way to tell if you have a treated diamond is by putting the diamond under a microscope. It depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a diamond that's been treated through laser drilling, by intensifying the magnification, you will be able to see the laser drill holes leading up to the inclusion that's been altered. In a fracture filled diamond, there are tell-tale signs of the fracture filling, such as orange or purple flashes of light in the area of the filling. But usually it takes a trained eye to be able to discern whether a diamond is treated or not.
