If you are afraid to ruin the product, a sure way to distinguish a real diamond from a fake is to put it in hydrochloric acid. If a diamond is real, the acid will do him no harm, but if it is Zirconia – stone covered with opaque spots.

A real diamond is completely colorless. Fake stones are distinguished from it by the presence of color impurities. Look closely at the stone: if it has a light yellow-green or blue-violet shade is without a doubt fake.

A coarse forgery can be distinguished by lowering the stone into the water. A real diamond will sparkle in the water, and the artificial will be visible bad.

The hardness of diamond is many times greater than the hardness of other gemstones and synthetic fakes. If the surface of the stone can be seen small scratches in front of you is not exactly brilliant. Also try to hold the stone with the blade of a knife or scratch it with sandpaper – if you see a cubic Zirconia or other soft rock, it will leave marks.

To distinguish a real diamond by using a diamond pencil (this is in every professional jeweler). To do this, gently push the sharp end of the pencil on the stone. If it's a diamond, no harm you he doesn't cause. Using a diamond pencil, be careful when strong pressure is applied you will be able to scratch them even a diamond. Therefore conducting such a test best left to a jeweler.
