A certified diamond is simply one that has been graded by a company whose job is to certify diamonds. A grade then is given to each and every stone according to the four C's. After they grade each stone it receives a certificate that it was graded and the product your purchasing is described gemologically.
But, a non certified diamond is not different from a certified one, except a piece of paper describing it, and your trust has to be in the hand of the salesperson who is selling it to you the consumer.
By law if a diamond has been altered, the store selling these items have to disclose that it is selling altered diamonds. So be a conscientious shopper and do your homework on diamonds, before you set out to purchase a non-certified stone.
Finally, In an effort to verify that diamonds are not 'blood diamonds' -- diamonds gathered as a criminal activity -- there are certificates that purport to show the provenance of a gem, to support the claim that the diamond has been legally mined, cut, polished and traded as a legal gemstone.
The major difference between yellow diamonds (also known as fancy yellow diamonds) and clear diamonds is their color. Yellow diamonds get their color from nitrogen impurities in the crystal structure, while clear diamonds, also known as colorless diamonds, have no noticeable color impurities. Yellow diamonds are considered unique and rare, while clear diamonds are more traditional and popular for engagement rings.
A trained jeweler can typically differentiate between zirconia and real diamonds based on factors like hardness, refractive index, and thermal conductivity. Using tools like a loupe or diamond tester can help them confirm the authenticity of a diamond.
The difference is big: synthetic diamonds are real diamonds and repeat all properties of natural diamonds, simulants are just trying to copy the brightness of the valuable gemstone. Synthetic's price is usually much higher than simulants. For more information on simulants and real diamonds follow the attached link.
You can tell the difference between a diamond and a fake diamond by looking at the stone's clarity, color, cut, and carat weight. A certified gemologist can use specialized tools to measure these factors to determine if the diamond is real or fake. Additionally, examining the diamond's setting and checking for certification can also help differentiate real diamonds from fakes.
Diamonds that are made in a laboratory are known as lab-grown diamonds . These diamonds are considered minerals since they are optically and chemically similar to mined diamonds, formed by the same mineral known as carbon. The only difference between mined and lab-grown diamonds is where carbon is crystallized- the earth's crust or the lab. CVD diamonds look exactly like mined diamonds and sparkle like natural diamonds, which is why they are known as minerals. There is no chemical or visual difference between lab-created and mined diamonds.
One difference between Herkimwe diamonds and true diamonds is that the Herkimwe diamonds are softer than true diamonds.
These are just two different ways of measuring a diamond's quality. Go with whatever method is good for you.

The difference between these two diamonds is marketing. Diamonds are valued according to their cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.
There are no 'marks' used to differentiate between real diamonds and fake diamonds.
if you are a pro at diamond gazing then you will know the difference
One is certified and the other isn't.
There are many differences in weight, refraction, and clarity. Also zirconia are manmade and diamonds are naturally occuring.
