are there any characteristics a common person could see that would help determine a real diamond from a fake stone or cubic zirconia?

Well....always go for the real thing. CZ's tend to get cloudy when dirty. Now there is Moissanite. This is the next best thing to a diamond. I've seen them in person and they are gorgeous.

the trained eye can see, look for molding indentations look at the color and clarity diamonds are classed by the GIA classes from D to Z this represents the color D being orange in color and z being the clearest and most fancy. now if u can find an inclusion which is a blemish in the diamond ur set however start with the regular clarity and sparkle colors in the sparkle are good in cz u get sparkle but its not as elaborate with cz ur gonna more sparkle diamonds depending on the cut dont tend to sparkle as much pay attention to the sparkle the most ull be able to see

If it scratches glass, it's diamond. If not, cubic zirconia. Or so I have been told. Also, if you have a jeweller's loup - the little magnifier they use, you may be able to see a flaw in it - but diamonds also have flaws.....if you want to know for sure, take it to a jeweller. They can tell in seconds.

Try and cut a piece of glass using the stone which you think it could possibly be a diamond..If the glass is cut, then the diamond is real...

cubic z will get little rainbows when in the sun, a diamond will only sparkle

Im not sure but my mom once told me that if you look very very carefully and there is a little marking then it is synthetic.
