It's impossible to tell the difference between them just by looking at them...
That's utter bullshit. I used to be a manufacturing jeweller, and if you have enough experience, the difference is unmistakeable. Zirconia has a much harder glare. Zirconia refracts twice, diamonds once. (A simple test is looking at a needle through it...on any given facet, you'll see 2 needles through a zirconia, and just 1 through a diamond) And in my experience, among lay people, women are much better at spotting it than men....probably because they spend more time looking at jewellery
