Amber Pendant Buyer Beware Guidelines
There are various quality combinations like color, insect or plant inclusions, clarity, cut, carat weight, and treatments that determine Amber pendant price and authenticity. Also, a buyer must understand that the weight of gemstones in India is usually expressed in Ratti and not in Carat. A buyer must understand the difference between Ratti and Carat. (1 Ratti = 0.91 carat)
Generally, Amber is not known to be treated but there are certain crucial treatments or enhancements that the gemstone undergoes. Frequently, Amber is heated to create sun spangles. The heat treatment improves appearance, deepens the color, improves clarity, and darkens the gemstone's color. Amber is also pressed to enhance color, and clarity, and makes the gemstone larger. GemPundit has a vivid collection of 100% natural, unheated, and untreated Amber pendants. However, one can always ask for a genuine report from the Gemological Laboratory. The Lab certifications determine the authenticity of the gemstone. Customers should be able to distinguish between real and fake Gem Lab Certifications and always verify the physical characteristics of Amber gemstones from Gem Experts and Astrologers. To identify the authenticity of the Amber, the customer can cross-check the report number on the Gem Lab certificate from the Gem Lab website or the company lab. If both the report numbers are alike, then it is an authentic Amber gemstone certification.
