It is not very easy to tell that the piece of stone you hold is the real or fake diamond. Some artificial diamonds are made with so much expertise that many experienced jewellers cannot identify real diamonds. This has become a problem because with the increasing demand of the artificial diamonds, the real diamonds are rarely seen in the most of the markets and hence there is a less exposure of the real diamonds to the local people. This decreases the ability of common people to find the real diamonds. But there are some quick and very basic tips that will help you and you can answer the question: how to tell if a diamond is real ?

Buy Diamonds From The Big Shops

First of all never buy the diamond from the local market or from the place that is not reputable. Try to find the sellers that are only selling the diamonds. People who are selling other jewelry items and are also displaying the diamonds, show that diamond is not their primary business and they may not be investing much for the diamonds. Hence there are less chances of getting the real diamonds at these shops. Find the big shops that are dealing in the diamonds. Always try to take some expert with you before buying a piece of diamond.

Basic Tests To Find Real Diamond

There are some basic tests that can help you to quickly identifying the fake piece. The real diamond cannot have a rough surface and you cannot see a single scratch on the surface of real diamond. The second basic test is that artificial diamonds always float on the surface of the water while real diamonds always sink in the water.  The huge shine and brilliance of the real diamonds is due to their property that they refract most of the light falling on them and very less light is passed through them. So fall the light on the stone and see how the light is refracted. This is another test to check the reality of the diamonds.
