•    The Magnification Test
The magnification test is a simple and effective way to check the doubted stone. You require 10X magnifying glass to see loose round diamonds. You must have seen the original diamond to understand the comparison. The real diamonds have some inclusions and tell-tale quirks. The doubted stone you have might have been created as a look-alike of a diamond to fool you. It will be completely flawless.
•    The Fog Test
Another test to know the originality of loose radiant diamonds is the fog test. It is the method in which, breath creates a foggy surface on the doubted stone. If it has the moisture on the surface it is a piece of mirror or a fake diamond. The reason is the original diamonds do not retain the heat. So, there will be no fog or moisture on it.
•    Test by the Black Light
The UV light has the rays that can create color essence in the diamonds. If you doubt the loose radiant diamonds, you can see them under the UV light. The bluish color growing in the stone shows the originality of the real diamond.
•    The Newspaper Test
You might get surprised to know that the simple page of newspaper can help you to detect a fake diamond. Real diamonds are translucent but not transparent. You are required to place the doubted stone in the newspaper. If it is a real loose round diamond, you will not be able to read the words easily.
•    The Candle Test
All these tests can result better if they are loose diamonds. Since you are trying to test the fake diamonds you can go for candle test. Use tweezers to hold the stone on the flame for around 45 seconds. After heating it, drop the loose round diamond in icy water. If the stone does not shatter that means it is real.
