Is my diamond real or fake?
 
My fiance and I recently purchased an engagement ring from a pawn shop. I am looking for a way to tell if the diamond is real. The ring has a round diamond in the center and 4 small round ones down each side. I held the ring under a black light and one of the small stones down the side illuminated into a blue color. The rest did not. It is very pretty and certainly appears real, however I am wondering if there is some way I can tell myself (besides having it appraised). The band is 14K gold and reads "14K SR" That is all. Also, if you look at it very closely, you can see a black mark inside the diamond...it doesn't appear to rub off and it is very very small, almost impossible to see. Thank you for your help.

The above form was filled out here

Hey there. I don't think there is any way to tell by just looking at it...unless you bring it to a professional....The dark spot could be a little carbon spot...so a good sign...also, the glow could be b/c that one little diamond has some (SPELLING HERE!!!! UGH) flourescence..(whatever.. .my spelling stinks)...go get it appraised.!

Most pawn shops will not sell Cubic Zirconia...

I always have the pawn shop use their diamond tester on any rings I purchase...They usually have one on hand.

SO- chances are that it is real- especially since you can see a carbon spot.

If not- ah well, just enjoy it!!
