    It would take them a fraction of a second. Thinking of commiting fraud?

    Really a good question….
    here is a simply little test anyone can perform to help determine if what they are looking at is a real diamond or a CZ(Fake or Man-made diamond).

    Step 1.

    Take a blank piece of paper and make a dot on it with a pen.

    Step 2.

    Take the stone in question and turn it upside down on the paper. We will be positioning the diamond, table down and centered on the dot.

    Step 3.

    When you center the gemstone on the dot …

    In a CZ you will see a circular reflection of that dot clearly through the pavilion. The stone on the left is the CZ. The stone on the right is a real diaimond.

    A diamond will break up that reflection to the point where it is almost imperceptible. In a CZ it will be very easy to see.

    There are other ways of making the distinctions between fakes and real but this is an easy simple test that any laymen can perform.
    I think, u can understand it well….

    Are you talking about CZ or nano-diamonds? Pojo answered the former for you, but nano-diamonds would be virtually indistinguishable. The only way you could probably tell one from a natural diamond is to have a molecular analysis done, since nano-diamonds would have no imperfections whatsoever, where a natural diamond may have a few here and there.
