You take your ring to a local jeweler and ask that the jeweler test the diamonds with a probe to confirm that they are, or are not, diamonds.
No. Diamond is the hardest substance we know of. the only thing harder is other diamonds.
Black diamonds -- carbonado -- are formed in ways that other diamonds are not formed. All diamonds are formed from carbon, but carbonado is more porous than other diamonds. The carbon isotope is low at -13 where most diamonds are rated as -12. Black diamonds are the 'toughest' form of diamond. Bottom line: we don't really know how carbonado is formed.
The field test for raw diamonds is 'extreme hardness'. Otherwise, when you take it to your local jeweler, a probe will prove whether or not you've picked up a raw diamond.
By looking to the diamond through the 10x loop. If there are inclusions visible the quality is lower and the price is less.Another AnswerTake your diamond to a gemologist and pay for a certificate that states its carat weight, its cut, its clarity and its colour. Then you'll know the quality of the diamond.
i know very antique diamonds were set in sterling silver.. if the diamond looks dull around the edges it is very likely a real diamond.
No. Diamond is the hardest substance we know of. the only thing harder is other diamonds.
By using a Diamond tester on the Diamonds and checking the hallmarks, if in doubt, check it out and take to a jewellers
Probably the diamond, which is pure Carbon. I don't know offhand if its the only single element gemstone.

As far as I know, baguettes last as long as a diamond and "diamonds are forever".
A hexagon have three diamonds. Two perfect diamonds attach together and the third diamond cut into half to create a hexagon. I know it can be a bit confusing but that is the logic of have three diamonds in a hexagon.
if you are a pro at diamond gazing then you will know the difference
Depends if you know how to recognize a really diamond.
The film Blood Diamond, link below, may have introduced people to the existence of blood diamonds, who did not know about them before seeing the film. At least, it provoked dialog and discussions about diamonds and their sources.
These diamonds are called conflict diamonds. Conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments. They are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the United Nations Security Council. The best way to tell if a diamond is a conflict diamond is to shop at a retailer that has a strict policy against selling conflict diamonds.
Before shopping for diamonds, you should know that the price of a diamond is determined by the 4 (sometimes 5) C's. These are Clarity, Cut, Color, Carat Weight, and sometimes Certification.
You probably don't -- can't discern the authenticity of a diamond with the naked eye.
