refinement
The polished diamond appears beautifully, which indicates the skill and care of the craftsman, and when he interacts with the light, every angle and every aspect of it is affected by the amount of light that returns to the eye, and this is what gives it an exposed appearance.

How to distinguish real diamonds from fake
There are many ways to distinguish the characteristics of a real diamond from a fake, including: Breath test: By placing a diamond near the mouth and breathing on its flat surface, the diamond will distribute heat immediately, so instead of appearing cloudy, it will appear transparent immediately.
Scratch test: A diamond is scratched with a piece of glass, and based on the degree of diamond hardness according to the Mohs scale, real diamonds will scratch the glass, but if it is fake, it will not leave any trace or scratch on the glass.
The newspaper or paper test: they are used for large diamond stones, by placing stones on the writing or a point, in the event that the vision is clear, this indicates that the diamond is fake, but in the event that one cannot see the writing or the point, this indicates that the diamond is real, due to the property of refraction of light. In a way that obstructs the view of what is located under it.
Water test: It is done by placing a diamond stone in a cup of water. If the stone settles at the bottom of the cup, this will indicate that it is real. As for the fake diamond, it will float due to the presence of materials of different density in it.
