  • I wanted to share this video on why you should never trust an inexpensive diamond tester when purchasing a diamond. Natural diamonds, lab diamonds and moissanites will all give positive readings claiming that the stone is a diamond. This is why it's incredibly important to purchase your diamond from a reputable seller who provides you with the proper GIA, IGI or AGS report for the specific diamond you're purchasing.
    To be clear, there are more expensive testers that can distinguish between natural diamonds, lab diamonds and moissanites. While not always 100% accurate they are less likely to give you a false positive. Always get diamonds checked by a professional before purchasing.

    I don’t know who needs to hear this, please don’t pay $7000 for a lab or synthetic diamond!! Go with the moissanite!

    Diamonds may be expensive to buy but in reality they are worthless.

    If it's impossible to distinguish betweeen two products after a couple seconds of looking at them, then the cheaper product wins.

    What's the moral of the story?! Don't buy diamonds! Instead, buy moissanite. 😁 As moissanite are getting the same results regarding el. conductivity, hardness. They even sparkle more. Plus they are cheaper. Don't be a fool and fall for overpriced stone when you can have pretty much the same stone for a fraction of a price. Mind you, I have both - a diamond and a moussanite ring. And I love moissanite more 😉

    That tester is a thermal conductivity tester, not electrical conductivity. Moissanite is thermally conductive like diamond. Diamond isn’t electrically conductive except for type 2B. Better testers differentiate between moisanite and diamond based on this.

    Moissanite ranks 9.25-9.50 on the Mohs scale making Moissanite one of the hardest gemstones on earth. It's unusually high hardness makes scratching and abrasions very rare, even after many years of daily wear and tear.

    Moissonites are really worth more ya know? They're easier to make, can come in a plethora of color combinations even able to mimic SPHENE, they have up to 3× the color refraction than a standard diamond. Cheaper price and similar hardness on the mohs scale. Not AS high as diamonds but a good proper Moissonite will land a 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale. I have a couple rings of them, ive seen moissonite come in Blue, Green, Teal, Pink, White, Yellow, Champaign, and even dabbled into color duos making some that mimic Sphene. Its only cheap cause we learned how to make it in a lab. Diamonds nowadays should also drop in price because of lab created abundance but the market doesnt want you to know that because then they make less money on a "timeless gemstone".

    Your weird blatant disdain for moissanite is interesting….

    Note : Conducting heat not electricity .

    I went to a jewelry store in Houston and they actually had a sign saying that there were moissanite or diamonds on pendants or necklaces so I trust them if they actually tell you a they are. You can also tell very easily, The difference between a moissanite and diamond. Diamond has more of a white reflective rather than a fire reflection of a moissanite. The moissanite on the hardness scale is right under a diamond so of course it’ll show 10 on the diamond tester. I’m a diamond type of guy lol. Got some good deals last weekend!

    Natural honey or blue Cambodian zircon is the best ...although expensive.

    Problem is even the diamomd stores are selling moissanite.

    That's why many are buying moissanites, as long as they know it's a moissanite.

    I use this gollowing the firections to find out if the jewelry im looking at has diamonds. Diamond test correctly vs spinels or glass that dont register.

    My blue sapphire is showing diamond but my yellow diamond doesn’t .

  • @shanepallette

    It has to be a skit considering the mascot didn't have the diamond tester even on.

  • @mrvincentpcspes

    Just buy a Moissanite tester. They work great. You can also use your Rainbow Eye.
