How to detect real Diamonds from fake ones?

Question

I mean difference between man made and the ones made by the earth.

Answer 1

Ah the mystery surrounding diamonds and their authenticity. Man-made diamonds which are a fraction of the price of "real" ones now are so good that they can only be detected by a sophisticated piece of equipment. I am surprised people still spend so much on diamond jewellery. Soon people will have to carry a card proving a diamond's authenticity, but then the card could be fake.

Answer 2

i dont think you can really tell the difference unless you use one of those magnafying glass things that the jewlers have to see inside of the stone. I actually got a very real good quality diamond engagement ring thats clarity was excellent but some people i worked with told mme that it looked like a cubic zirconia or something. when i went to the jewlere to get it appraised they couldnt believe how clear cut the diamond was and how much it was worth. so you see it can be hard to tell the difference just from the human eye

Answer 3

If you take it to a jeweler they have a small device they put on it (about the size of a pen ) and it tells instantly. There is no other way to tell the real deal from a good fake.

Answer 4

Only Diamonds will scratch glass. Also a true diamond will not fade with time.
