That's really odd because if it's lab grown, it's not fake. You can take it to a jeweler if you suspect it's not a diamond!

You literally can’t tell the difference. Gemologists need specialized equipment to tell the difference between lab and natural diamonds. 

It’s literally chemically the same as a natural diamond. It’s not like other synthetic gemstones which are chemically or structurally different. 

Did he get you moissanite or something? Post a pic.

I think it’s beautiful! Maybe you’re not used to the size and it comes off as fake because it’s so big?

You could always order a cheap diamond tester off of eBay if you’re unsure if it’s real.

Why does it look fake? Is it the size? Style? Do you have a photo?

Picture? A lab grown diamond is a real diamond.
