Apparently, there are physics involved in this test. (You can read about more tests, below.)

On a clean, dry diamond, use a pin to drop a tiny amount of water on the table -- top -- of a cut diamond. If a diamond, the drop will maintain its shape; if not, the drop will flow off the table.

How do you find out if a diamond is real besides testing it with a diamond tester.?

A 'quick and dirty' test is to pass the diamond over glass. If it cuts the glass, it's probably a diamond. Some 'fake' diamonds cloud up under cold water; a real diamond remains clear. Finally, a certified gemologist will always be able to tell whether a diamond is a real diamond, or a 'fake' diamond -- using a diamond tester.


What will happen if i drop a very hot diamond in cold water?

The extreme temperature difference can cause the diamond to crack or shatter due to thermal shock. When a hot diamond is rapidly cooled in cold water, the uneven contraction of the material can create stress and lead to the gemstone breaking. It's best to allow the diamond to cool gradually to prevent damage.

how to tell if diamond ring is real?
