How to Tell if a Diamond is Real or Fake

Diamonds are one of the most sought-after gemstones, symbolizing luxury and timeless beauty. However, the market is flooded with both real and fake diamonds, making it crucial to distinguish between them. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced jeweler, understanding the differences can save you from potential pitfalls.

Simple Tests for Beginners

  • The Water Test: Drop the diamond into a glass of water. A real diamond will sink due to its high density.
  • Fog Test: Breathe on the stone. Real diamonds disperse heat quickly and won’t fog up.

Advanced Techniques for Experts

  • UV Light Test: Some real diamonds will emit a blue fluorescence under UV light.
  • Loupe Examination: Use a magnifying loupe to inspect for imperfections and inclusions typical in natural diamonds.
