Just as a side note to those who answered about the color a diamond glows in a black light, I found an abstract for an article on diamond films subjected to true UV (254 nm) that says they show an excitation band at 450 nm (blue) and an emission band at 500 nm (greenish blue).

Congratulations. The text books say that a diamond will have a blue color under the black light and may also show a yellow after glow.
If your diamond was a fake, probably cubic zirconium then its color under a black light would be mustard yellow.

If you have one that you absolutely know IS a diamond and it isn't glowing in the dark, then it probably is fake. Unless you accidently got some weird substance on JUST those diamonds.
Other things that glow in the dark...
Fake nails,
Veneers...
Seems like a theme...plastiky, acrylicky substances.
Have them checked out. It is usually free at most Jewelry Stores.

Relax; your diamonds are indeed real! They just have more of a fluorescence in them. Go here to read more about diamonds glowing under black light:

Is it purple or blue? There are blue diamonds.

Yes. A true diamond doesn't do that.
