| If You Can't Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Gem Business Part 4 | Gary Roskin, G.G., FGA, JCK Senior Editor | September | 109-114 | Feature - This article is about the use of heat treatments and the value of a gem that has been treated. Roskin (2004) focused on diamonds and if a D, E, of F colored diamond that was heat-treated should be the same price as a naturally colorless diamond. Roskin revealed a problem with the high pressure and high temperature-treated (HPHT-treated) diamonds, and the problematic nature of identifying these treatments. The author believed that a majority of HPHT-treated diamonds would be identified by their color; however, some heat treaded diamonds are being passed as natural. Roskin explained the different types and how they might be identified. | |
