Here Is How To Detect If Your Diamond Is Real Every so often you must have had doubts about the rock on your finger or around the neck. Especially if they are uncertified diamonds or a gift. There’s no harm in making sure what you are wearing is 100% authentic or if you have been played for. Although, if you’re out on a diamond hunt, then it is advisable to go to the prime diamond dealer. The most certain way to find out your diamond’s authenticity is to go to a reputable jeweler. But if you are just in a conundrum, then here are 6 simple tests you can perform at home to clear your suspicions.

1. The Imperfection Test Inspect the stone under a magnifying glass meticulously for imperfections. In diamond terminology, they are called inclusions. If there aren’t any, then it’s most likely a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds have inclusions not visible to the naked eye. You can do this quick test when buying loose diamonds from diamond wholesalers.

2. The Fog Test You need to simply blow a puff of air on the stone to create fog like how you do on a mirror. If it gets misty for a few seconds, then it is certainly a fake. A diamond is less likely to fog up as condensation does not stick to an authentic diamond the way it does with synthetic stones.

3. The Water Test Real diamonds sink. If your stone floats even just a little, then there is no saying if it is genuine. Due to high density, a real diamond sinks. You can perform this test on loose diamonds from an online diamond wholesaler as well. However, this test is inconclusive, as not all synthetic diamonds float.
