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.


How can you tell if its glass or a diamond?

You can differentiate glass from a diamond by examining their hardness, refractive index, and sparkle. Diamonds are much harder than glass and have a higher refractive index, meaning they will reflect light differently. Diamonds also tend to sparkle more due to their superior light dispersion. Additionally, you can perform a scratch test as glass is softer than a diamond, allowing a diamond to scratch it.
