Put the stone in front of your mouth and fog it like you would a mirror. If it stays fogged for a couple seconds, it’s probably a fake. A real diamond disperses the heat instantaneously so by the time you look at it, it has already cleared up, or if it happens to be a little dirty, it still clears much faster than a fake. Use a stone you know is real next to the suspect stone and fog both. You can watch how the real one stays clear while the fake one fogs over, plus if you breathe on them repeatedly, you will see condensation start to build up on the fake, it fogs more with with each puff, while the real one is still clean and clear.

I've tried this before as well and it works much better if the diamond is freshly cleaned.diamondrnglover|1373986927|3483946 said:antiquesparkler|1373986671|3483941 said:Per google:

FYI I just tried this on my real diamond and on a CZ they both stayed fogged almost equal time..the CZ just a tad longer...both stones are similar in size![]()
