Sometimes it's difficult indeed when you only have photo agency pics in regular size - you do need to look for high resolution pics which show the stones and the setting clearly.I was always curious how can people tell by the picture if earrings (or any other jewelry for that matter) are fake or not?
How do you indentify that?
When it comes to diamonds, the difference in luminescence between crystal (in this case, Princess Madeleine's scroll earrings) and diamonds (her pearl and diamond earrings) is quite obvious. Crystal will always be more 'flat' and clear and lack the depth and color spectrum of diamonds.
The other giveaway is of course the setting which always tends to be less intricate and more heavy-handed in costume jewelry.
