What is Fake Diamond?

Fake Diamond, also known as a Diamond Imitation, is a man-made or natural material designed to mimic the appearance of a genuine Diamond, without being composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. A common type of fake Diamond includes Cubic Zirconia, Moissanite, and Glass. Although a fake Diamond may visually resemble a real Diamond, it typically lacks the distinct physical properties, such as hardness, refractive index, and thermal conductivity, that make Diamonds unique and valuable.
