How to tell a real diamond from a fake

Most of the time, inspecting a diamond with a loupe is enough to tell whether it is natural or man-made but occasionally further investigation is needed. In this video we visit the HRD laboratory in Antwerp to talk about some of their identification processes and what methods they use to identify that a stone is natural and not enhanced or is in fact a fake diamond.
