If it is not set, or can easily be removed and reset, you can try the following. Weigh the diamond in air, carefully on a good, accurate gram scale. Then weigh it again under water. Subtract the weight under water from the weight in air and this is you stones volume (in ccs) divide the weight in air by the volume. Now you have the stones density. If it is a diamond, the density will be 3.51 g/cc

a million) leaf by using magnifying glass actual diamonds are shaped under the earth crust via organic forces performing upon it over million of years. because of this there are imperfections interior the carbon. a real stone would be ideal - honestly ideal. Even there are guy made diamonds which isn't identifiable. Its greater ideal to take it to an authority. 2) Sandpaper try. through fact diamonds are between the international's toughest stone and it should not be scratched by potential of the tough floor. in case you scratch sandpaper to a real diamond then no longer something will take place yet while it quite is a cubic zirconium, it is going to scratch it up. 3)Fog try. Breathe warm air on your diamond as you may do on a mirror. a pretend diamond will fog up for a short volume of time while a real diamond won't through fact it won't preserve the warmth

Taking it to a jeweler is the best option, however, I've heard that some diamond synthetics reflect light differently in oil than real diamonds.

Well with my diamond ring when i hold it at a certain angle you can see different colors shining off of the diamond. If you don't see any colors than it could be fake. Another way you can tell is if you go to your local mall, you can take it to any Jeweler and he can test the heat in it. All Diamonds have heat in them. That's how they tell. Good Luck!!!

Take it to a jeweler and get it appraised. It's the only way to know for sure if it's real or not.

Unless you are a jeweler, you probably can't.
How can I tell? Take it to a jeweler.
Zircons will also cut glass...
