Which one is the real diamond?


Here is a simple test that you could do in order to determine which one is the real diamond and which one is fake or in this case, a cubic zirconia.


First, take a blank piece of paper and make a dot on it with a pen.


And then, take the stone in question and turn it upside down on the paper. We will be positioning the diamond, table down and centered on the dot.


Finally, you place the gemstone on the dot .

In a CZ you will see a circular reflection of that dot clearly through the pavilion. The stone on the left is the CZ. The stone on the right is a real diaimond.

A diamond will break up that reflection to the point where it is almost imperceptible. In a CZ it will be very easy to see.

Thank you diamond.info
