How to Spot a Fake Diamond

Quick tests to separate diamonds from cubic zirconia, glass and moissanite.

At-home tests

Fog test: breathe on the stone — a diamond clears instantly. Read-through test: a loose round diamond placed table-down on text blurs the letters. Sparkle: CZ shows excessive rainbow fire.

Limits

Home tests can't detect moissanite or lab-grown diamonds. Use a professional tester or lab report for certainty.

Verification tools & references

Every Riakoob piece arrives certified, insured and covered by our 12-month value promise.
