includes a DJ night, dance, delicious dishes paired with cocktails and romantic events.
You can also ask your paired-friends whether they are willing to join you.

2. If your friends are not free then you can enjoy the same with your family. Plan a DJ
night and ask all your family members to indulge in it. You can organize a romantic
dinner for the couples who belong to your family along with some romantic activities.

3. If the plan of organizing a party is dropped then simply plan a night out along with a
long drive with your friends. Enjoy the cold winter night under the twinkling stars. Feel
the darkness and the fresh air. Have you ever felt the smell of the fresh air during the
night? Certainly not. Take an advantage of this romantic whether and drive. Drive till
you are not bored or tired. Enjoying the whole night with friends gives a different
experience. But one thing you should keep in mind that don't dare to drink and drive.
This is illegal and it may harm your life. If you are in love with alcohol then step-in to
an inn and enjoy there.

4. However, if all the above plans fail to happen then don't be upset or think negative. If
you think positively, you can come up with exciting ideas. Like you can spend your
time watching your favorite movie or something new that is running in the theaters
nearby. Indulge yourself cooking delicious food and making cards and greetings for
your loved ones.

5. Apart from these, there are several restaurants who organizes different activities. Walk-
in to those eateries with your friends or family, have delicious items and take a part in
such events organized.

of the plan works, then keep a backup plan of enjoying your day going on a short trip
with your family.

By the way, have you bought the gifts for your loved ones? Have you decided yet or you
have thought since you don't have a valentine you can't spend your Valentine's day, so no need to waste money on gifts? Whatever may be, we hope after going through this, something has definitely clicked your mind.

HOW TO DETECT A REAL DIAMOND ?

Diamonds are known as the hardest natural gemstone which depends on its purity, crystalline
perfection and orientation. Due to its undefined beauty and characteristics , diamonds have a very high
price rate.
Diamonds are mainly used in making engagement rings and other bridal accessories. It is
better to have a knowledge of the diamond shapes as well as the four C's : colour, clarity, cut, and carats,
before purchasing any diamond jewellery. Following are the main characteristics of a real diamond.
1. Diamond Cuts – It represent the brightness of a diamond. The better the cut, the better it reflects.
The quality of cutting refers to polishing, proportions and symmetry. Proportions refers to the ratio
between size,shape and angles of each facet of a diamond.
2. Diamond Clarity – It represents the flaws or inclusions in a diamond. The clarity of a diamond is
rated on following scale:
IF : internally flawless, that is the pure diamond.
VVS1-VVS2 : very very slightly included
VS1-VS2 : very slightly included
S1-S2: slightly included
Thus the clarity measure the purity of a diamond.
3. Diamond Colour – An ideal diamond is colourless and are expensive in nature while the white,
red, blue, and green diamonds are rare to find. Diamonds graded as D, E and F are considered
colourless whereas G, H and I are near colouless.
4. Diamond Carats – Diamond is measured in carats. It represents the measure of a diamond.
1 carat=0.20gm. More the weight of a diamond more will be its price rate.
Apart form these characteristics a real diamond when examined with a magnifying glass,has
many imperfections in the carbon. Whereas the fake diamonds will be perfect. Again if observed
thoroughly, real diamonds will have sharp edges and the fake ones will be rounded.
Thus, before purchasing a diamond engagement ring or any other diamond jewelery it is better
to check its characteristics and detect the fake one.

DIAMOND TESTS: FAKE OR REAL

  Diamond, the precious stone, is an allotrope of carbon. This natural gemstone is recognized for its hardness and high thermal conductivity. Different types of cuts in diamonds give many shapes to it. Round diamonds, heart shaped diamonds, radiant cut diamonds are some of the examples of different shapes. A diamond refers to the symbol of love and status. They are mainly used to deck up different ornaments such as engagement rings or it may be bridal accessories.

But there are many such stones which have the similar chemical composition and resemble real diamonds. Cubic Zirconium, Zircon, Moissanite, White Saphire, Rutile, Spinel, Synthetic Garnet are some minerals that are used as a duplicate diamond. By using these stones instead of real diamonds, people are fooled by the shopkeepers. Thus it is necessary to have a knowledge regarding the characteristics of a real diamond. The main characteristics of a real diamond lies in its 4C's. 4C refers to colour, clarity, cut, and carats. One should be very much careful about this before purchasing.
Diamond Colour- According to the colour, diamonds are graded as D, E, F which are considered colourless and G, H, I are near colourless. An ideal Diamond is always colouless and it is very expensive. Thus it is very hard to find.
Diamond Cut- It represents the brightness. Finer will the work, better will be the quality.
Diamond Clarity- These are the flaws or inclusions present in a diamond. Internally Flawless diamond IF is the pure diamond.
Diamond Carats- All Diamonds are measured in carats. That is 1 carat =0.20 gms. Price of a diamond rises exponentially with its weight.

Now the question arises that though knowing the characteristics how one can examine it.
As diamond is the hardest material, Many people use these characteristics of the diamond to determine a real diamond. They simply use the diamond to cut a glass. But the fault lies here. This is because Quartz, which also lies above glass on Mohs scale, can cut a glass easily. Thus by these types of experiments no one can come to a true solution. There are plenty of methods that will deliver the truth, whether the stone is a real diamond or a fake one.

For the diamonds which are mounted:

  1. Fog Test – When the diamond is placed in front of the mouth and fogged. If the stone gets easily fogged in seconds, then it proves to be a fake diamond. This is because a real diamond diffuses all heat and doesn't fog up .
  2. With the help of a magnifying glass, it can be observed whether the stone contains any imperfections or flaws. If the stone is not perfect and contains inclusions it means that it is a real one. But diamonds that are made in the lab will somehow be perfect and may contain inclusions, unlike natural diamonds. So this statement has a contradict nature. It is better not to end up with any conclusion with this.

For the diamonds which are unmounted:

  1. Refractivity test- Diamonds can be highly identified with the help of its refractivity. When light passes through it, due to its high refractive index they have a dazzling sparkle. Whereas, the Quartz like stones has a very low refractive index. Two types of tests namely newspaper test and dot test can be done. Newspaper test is done in presence of light. The stone should be placed on the newspaper in such a way that the flat surface of the diamond faces the page. If one can read the letters then it can be sure that the stone is fake. Alternatively dot test can also be used to examine a real diamond. A dot is made with a pen on a white paper and then the stone is placed on it. While looking down through the stone, if a circular reflection is observed then the stone is not a real diamond. In other words a real diamond neither gives such kind of reflection nor the dot can be observed through it.
  2. Reflection test- Reflections of a real diamond is always gray. Looking down the diamond if rainbow reflections are observed then it can be concluded that it is the fake one.
  3. High Density test- If the stone when dropped inside a glass of water sinks, then the stone is a real diamond . This is due to the high density of a diamond. Again if a real diamond is heated up and then dropped into the water then it will not shatter. But other stones such as quartz; have a rapid expansion and contraction.

Cubic Zirconium is a colourless, flawless crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. As it resembles a diamond, but weighs more than a same sized real diamond. Many jewelers use this instead of a diamond in a jewelery. It can be distinguished by a sparkling test where the magnitude of sparkle measured for this cubic zirconium does not surpass that of the diamond. So one should be attentive enough and take the advice of the professionals. With the help of heat probe test, inspection under UV rays, or diamond-moissanite test, it can be authentically proved whether the diamond is a real diamond or simply a fake stone.
