Through the pointed end of the diamond, look down onto the paper. If you see a circular reflection inside the gemstone, the stone is fake. If you cannot see the dot or a reflection in the stone, then the diamond is real. This is why you won’t be able to see letters or dots through a natural, real diamond.

Q. Which mineral is the hardest on earth?
Diamond is always at the top of the scale, being the hardest mineral. There are ten minerals in Mohs scale, talc, gypsum, calcite, fluorite, apatite, feldspar, quartz, topaz, corundum, and for last and hardest, diamond.
Q. What happens if you melt a diamond?
At ~700 degrees Fahrenheit the diamond will start burning. This will produce Carbon Dioxide and change the structure so that it is no longer a diamond. As diamond is made of Carbon, it would revert back to that form while losing its mass to the production of CO2. This is due to the presence of Oxygen.
Q. Can you trick a diamond tester?
Diamond testers COULD be fooled! The stone could be a Moissanite, a diamond or something entirely different. You could have a Moissanite in your ring right now and never know it! Unless your local jeweler has an up-to-date diamond tester that also tests for Moissanite, you could be in for a little surprise.
Q. How can you tell if a diamond is real or not?
To tell if your diamond is real, place the stone in front of your mouth and, like a mirror, fog it up with your breath. If the stone stays fogged for a few seconds, then it’s probably a fake. A real diamond won’t fog up easily since the condensation doesn’t stick to the surface.
Q. What is the name of fake diamonds?
Simulated diamonds are also known as diamond simulants and include things like cubic zirconia (CZ), moissanite, and YAG. They can also include some natural clear gemstones like white sapphire, white zircon or even clear quartz.
Q. What stone is closest to a diamond?
Moissanite
Q. What is a cheap diamond called?
cubic zirconia
Q. Is cubic zirconia fake jewelry?
Since cubic zirconia mimics a diamond but is not the same material, it is referred to as faux, fake, imitation, and stimulant. Cubic zirconia is beautiful in its own right and only becomes a problem purchase when it is misrepresented as a diamond or other gemstone.
Q. Do cubic zirconia rings turn your finger green?
Does cubic zirconia turn your finger green? No, it doesn’t unless, of course, you chose the low-quality one. Some jewelers will mix the cubic zirconia jewel with brass, copper, and such as metals. Generally, though, cubic zirconia is an excellent metal that will not cause skin reactions.
Q. Can you wear cubic zirconia in the shower?
Take your Cubic Zirconia jewelry off before showering. Repeated exposure to water will ruin this jewelry along with its gemstones. The only time that you can get your Cubic Zirconia jewelry wet is when you are cleaning it. Even then, it should only be for a short period.
Q. Which is better Swarovski vs cubic zirconia?
Swarovski crystals are cheaper than cubic zirconia. It’s also worth noting that CZ is more durable than Swarovski Crystals and can be cut with more facets, offering a better light refraction than Swarovski crystals.
