Determining if gemstones and jewelry are genuine or not involves many things. For gemstones, the appearance of the stone under magnification, the way it reflects light, its weight relative to its size, and other properties are used to properly identify them.
It is not true that scratching a gemstone with a diamond will prove that it's fake. All gemstones (except other diamonds) can be scratched by a diamond. Please don't try this: you'll just ruin your jewelry!
A fake ring will have lots of color to it. You should also be able to see flaws inside a real diamond such as small air pockets. Real diamonds also have code numbers on them which only a diamond specialist can see with a magnifying glass. If you take your ring to a jewelry store thay can tell you. Do not take it to a pawn shop. it is not shiny
there are different properties which you can follow , like hardness, color, clarity, refractive index, specific gravity etc.
but most easiest way is to try moh hardness scale, scratch it by glass that glass will be scratch by real topaz

When you buy a diamond ring you will get its certificate (if you don't, ask for it before you buy) which tells you the shape cut and carat of your diamond and sometimes its color too.
The only way you know the details of your ring is if you have a) an invoice from the jeweler and b) a certificate which ensures authenticity.
