Transcript of How to identify a fake diamond ?
When you're taking a look at a diamond through a
loupe, a real stone is going to have sharp edges,
and a fake stone will have rounded edges.
If the metal used for detting diamond is gold plated
or silver, chances are it's not a diamond
because Most diamonds are mounted in gold or
set in platinum.
If the setting of a diamond looks like it's of poor
quality, that probably means it's not going to be a
real diamond either.
Rub a sandpaper with your stone.If it's a
diamond, it will remain perfect, if it's a cubic
zirconium, it will scratch it up.
Breathe hot air on your stone.A fake diamond
will fog up for a short period of time whereas a
real diamond will not because it won't retain
the heat.
Diamonds reflect light uniquely.A fake diamond
will have rainbow colors that you can see inside
the diamond whereas the real one sparkles grey
and white colors inside the stone.
