I don't know , but diamond is the hardest material on Earth

answer 2 Real diamonds may be differentiated from fakes, by density, by hardness, and by x-ray methods. In addition, any reputable jeweler or gemologist can tell by eye.

The usual fakes are cubic zirconium, CZ for short. It fails the above tests.

There are a number of different ways to tell. The quickest and easier is the fog test: a real diamond will disperse the heat from your breath immediately, the setting: such as 10k, 14k or 18k stamps inside the setting, anything with a C.Z (cubic zirconia) usually indicates that the diamond is not real, a jewelers loupe and also if it has rainbow reflections if you look at it from the top. You can also take it to a jeweler and get it evaluated.
