recalled one incident. In short acquaintance showed earrings, says "You go often to Hungary, ask them to evaluate it, maybe you sell and you have earned and we"
I asked what their history. In general, an actress came from Odessa, earrings she got from her mother, and became a jeweler to order, in each of earrings 6brilliantov. As my friend said that the earrings looked a jeweler who appraised their in $ 20 000. Diamonds shone brilliantly, the jeweler said it was the color of tea roses.

I took a nose ring and went to Szentendre (there is a jewelry factory).
In short jeweler earring cleaned, looked and said, "Girl, this technical diamonds, and the price of these earrings $ 500." That such cases.

Girl, it's technical diamonds, and the price of these earrings $ 500. "This is such cases.

Not every jeweler will tell the truth, but all of them offer to buy, and for ridiculous money, they say we is trying only to take a crowbar, but you can see how their eyes burning, when the stones through the glass look. The stones here are combined with each other, when the sun begins to light up brillyanty, they seemed to convey a light emerald, which if disclosed within, while at a dark light, the opposite, an emerald if it awakens to life diamonds, and they begin to flow gently and white - pink glow. My wife often catches mesmerized views of girl friends on the ring

No living jewelers!
Only in the forum!
The jeweler said the verdict and all! No joy of communication.
And in the forum - just a pair of muddy photos, as well as interesting messages
how many stories about this and that!
As on TV before the transfer was "surprising number".
By the way, never heard of a "technical diamonds. The new devices?

In the theme of the stories. Have you heard the story about the mysterious green stone Roerich? He received his parcel, being in Paris. In the headnote was monogram MM According to a mystical version of Lucifer's crown was decorated with a large green stone, which was hidden by his strength. During the fight, the archangel splitting the crown with a sword and knocked the stone, which was split into many pieces and fell to the ground.

question that the jeweler had in mind.
Not all diamonds used in yuvelirke clean as a tear and colorless (or have a nice champagne or rose)
Come with 20-30 times the magnifying glass in the jewelry store and ask them to show the goods. Will be very surprised.
Diamond color P - Q and purity of P 1 (Piqué 1) or P 2 (Piqué 2) really in the loop look like crystals of salt.
My friend the jeweler calls such stones technical, ie in his opinion such stones in yuvelirke do nothing - shame.
Although in terms of terminology is not correctly.

the question is that the jeweler had in mind

The jeweler can do nothing to keep in mind, it gives a definition.
  Technical diamonds do not exist. Even in view of the jeweler.
  Technical diamond - a diamond with defects (color, natsvet, feathers, blotches, crack, etc). Simply ask visible and do not allow to use it in jewelry. That is, commercial diamond becomes a diamond.
 Exceptions - African black korichnivye etc. diamonds, close to the technical, but disguised as "rare color diamonds,"
are often granite in diamonds.
