Looking At The Details
Obviously, pawnbrokers need to be able to identify a counterfeit item whenever they lay their eyes on one. This is something that Corey is great at because of how much attention he pays to details. “You look for the way something is built. You see a Prada bag, and you look at the stitching at the back. If it’s a fake one, then they make it really cheap,” he explained.

Too Good To Be True
On the other hand, some fake items simply look too good to be true. This is a principle that they apply to diamonds and other precious materials. Corey can usually spot a fake diamond and it is usually a piece with zero imperfections. “There are very few perfect diamonds out there,” Corey elaborated. For this task, he uses a magnifying tool called a loupe in order to take a closer look at every diamond that is taken to the store.
