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.
