    So cubic zirconia is more sparkly and its flaws only come out when incredibly closely inspected, aswell as far cheaper. Sounds like a much better deal

      There's different quality of diamonds and cubic zirconia.
      My wife's ring is VS diamond.
      Only and last diamond I'll buy. They're not rare and the price is inflated insanely.
      Based on the price of diamonds, there's trillions of dollars of diamonds just sitting in reserves.

My family grew up dirt poor so I haven't been around a lot of diamonds Its just small things any perceptive person could pick up.
    Lab grown materials and naturally formed materials are easy to tell apart when outside the jewelry casing. It's much harder to tell when someone is actually wearing a piece but the differences are pretty easy to spot if you just look.

    This is because the moh's scale hardness differences between diamond (a 10) and cubic zirconia (6-6.5) now those flashes are actually a value determining property called dispersion (called "fire" in the industry) and that high dispersion is the main reason people say diamonds are so beautiful, but they are definitely not the highest in dispersion by no means and cubic zirconia (which is a synthetic gem and not to ever be confused with the natural and awe inspiring Zircon gem) had almost double the dispersion or "fire" than that of diamond.

    I mean cubic one is foggy and less clear and diamond is literally clear and moreover it's prismic properties are more than just reflecting one like cubic one and as well diamond captures light more or so alike

    My grandpa said that if take it into the Light than out of the light and it still shines, and if you can see into it but not see through it it is a diamond

    Its easy between those two in that lighting. The diamond that brighter its fake and the real one is more dimmer

    Moissanite also shows a bunch of insane flashes (more than CZ) compared to diamond. The amount of moissanites I’ve seen people get mad that they didn’t pass the diamond tester was insane…

    I'm not a jeweler but I could tell before you zoomed in. The real one was a sharper color than the other one. The fake actually looked like plastic

    As a complete amateur with no experience or interest in diamonds I was able to immediately guess which one was real and which one was fake.

    The fake one seems to have a very light blue-ish tent to it as well

    The fake one is more blue and the real one is more gray and I personally like the blue better

    I also think that fake diamonds have random geometric shapes while real ones have similar , even, and well patterned shapes
