This is clearly the best video that explains exactly HOW to identify and recognize fake diamonds in 6 simple steps. The video presents a series of tests which you can do at home, and also tests which you SHOULDN’T do at home. Watch the video to know which ones are safe:

  1. The Scratch Test
  2. The Fog Test
  3. The Transparency Test
  4. The Inclusion Test
  5. The Black light Test
  6. Detecting Treated Diamonds (clarity-enhanced diamonds, commonly known as fracture-filled diamonds)

I think this video complements our Diamond Buying Guide pretty well!
