It's not fake if you can touch it, see it or smell it! Looks like a real ring to me! Hope you get a good determination on it's value when you can get it appraised!
i would have it checked out just to be safe cause it does look like a common style engagment ring...on second thought just send it to me and I will check it out for you
yes diamonds chip it is why you should never test a diamond by scratching glass a jeweler or pawn shop can test it for you have them test the side stones even if the center isn't real
