This is very easy to execute. Here you need to hold the ring in front of your mouth and then to breathe on it. Then the diamond will fog with your breathe and if it is a real stone then the “fog” will disappear very instantly though the diamonds cannot itself hold the fog. And in case if the stone is artificial, then the fog will remain on the stone nearly for 10 to 15 mins which suggests that it is not a real diamond.

You must observe the shades of grey within the scheme of the color and in case if you do not then it’s sure that you are having fake. Further, real diamonds are never arranged other than platinum, titanium or gold or it can be other kind of high-quality metal which is found very rare.
