    It is not necessarily true that a diamond is real if it cuts glass. Before the advent of high-quality synthetic gemstones, attempting to scratch a piece of glass with a gemstone was a more accurate way of determining whether it was a real diamond. However, some human-made stones are now hard enough to produce scratches on glass, just like diamonds. As a result, experts generally say that the best way to tell if a diamond is real is to have it inspected by an experienced jeweler, dealer or appraiser. Shop a large collection of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    American Brilliant cut glass is deeply and sharply cut glass known for its reflective quality and highly polished nature. This type of glass is thick, heavy, and very clear.
    The difference between cut glass and cut crystal is the lead content along with some other criteria. "There are three primary criteria for crystal as established by the European Union in 1969: a lead content in excess of 24%, a density in excess of 2.90 and a reflective index of 1.545." "Prior to 1969 crystal glass was generally around 36% lead. However, due to concerns over lead leaching the percentage was reduced to the [unofficial} standard of 24%. Today glass with a lead content of 10% or more is considered to be crystal or “fine glass”" in the US.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if glass is brilliant cut, try striking it with your finger. It should produce a sound like a ringing bell. Because so many convincing replicas exist, consider having an experienced and licensed appraiser evaluate the piece. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of expertly vetted American brilliant cut glassware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if cut glass is American Brilliant, look for deep cuts that reflect light with a brilliance. If you can, flick the glass gently with your fingernail and listen for a bell-like ring. Always purchase crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of American Brilliant crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
