been treated. If it is not, then request for a certification of this fact.

the jeweler provide any warrantee for the treated diamond. Also don't be misled into thinking the more facets a diamond has the better it is .

It is the diamond cut which is the most important not the number of facets. The diamond facets must be cut with proportion and perfect symmetry.
