It is supposed to cut glass if it is a real diamond. You could also buy a diamond tester and touch the prong to the diamond and it will light up if it is a real diamond. You can buy them at a jewelry supply place or on line.

Have it appraised by a jeweler. Ask the in-house gemologist for their opinion.
It is true that diamonds do scratch glass but so do a lot of the other fakes on the market. To boot, it’s possible to injure your rock even if it’s real during your hardness test.
A high percentage of diamonds fluorescence blue when put under an ultra violet light (black light). Since 99% of all fakes don’t, a positive identification of medium to strong blue would indicate a diamond.

well usually the naked eye cannot tell the difference between diamond and cubic zirocnias, the best way to know for sure is to take it to a jewellers.
i used to work in a jewellers for a few years ( before i had my babies), i was tought that if u can see purple or blue colours in the stones ( it will sparles different colours in the light) it is more than likely a cubic zirconia as diamonds do sparkle but they arent exactly colourful if u know what i mean.
but the only real way to know 100% is to take it to a jeweller it shouldnt cost u a thing to find out!

Your ring is Blue Topaz. The Blues interior the Topaz are the main time-honored. This gemstone is provided in many diverse shades. Sky Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz and London Blue Topaz. that is not a diamond. Had it been a sparkling Topaz it fairly is likewise available, it may be incorrect for diamond because it has a different crystal shape that makes it dense.

According to this link: "Pearls will dissolve in vinegar, opals in chlorine bleach, and cubic zirconia in hydrogen peroxide. The latter provides a simple way to distinguish between diamonds and their imitators." Besides this test and the scratching test (not glass, it's too soft), I would definitely use the fluorescent light test, or get it apparised by a jeweler.

Try scratching it between two real diamonds, only another real diamond can scratch a real diamond

there is no way of telling if it is real or not without a machine. i was planning a trip to thailand and did a lot of research( i heard you could get good deals on them from people selling in the street, but you can get screwed)

If it scratches a sapphire or a ruby, then it's real (check out Mohs scale of mineral hardness).

Hit it really hard with a sludge hammer, if it is at least a tiny bit broken then its probably not real.
