Well before we start talking let me call I guy I know who’s an expert on this stuff
I got a friend who specializes in diamonds

so the fake looks better than the real deal lol
+jvilla21 LOl tru.
jvilla21 no they are not cut the same way
jvilla21 they don't reflect as well
The fake comes from china the real one comes from the ground :V thats why its more difficult to find high quality

Holy Smokes! The Misinformation is REAL!!! IN your Post!
The truth about Diamonds and Gem Stones is that they are from the poorest places of the Earth.
The misconception comes from the fact that there are Corporations that reep all the benefits and glory while paying dirt to the people who actually go out on to their land to dig up the riches from the dirt they shit on.
Right on Cory! Love the show....So sad to hear your grandfather passed away though...Condolences.
If the diamond is cherished for its beauty, then the flawless cubic zirconia should suit fine.
Toro Italiano but diamonds aren't rare either lol.
The real value of a diamond should actually be far lower, the prices are kept artificially high by the industry, this is well documented.
I will never buy any real diamond jewlery because it is an outright scam
@FullSend The difference is wheras the value of a card or other collectible is decided by the actual market forces, diamond's value is specifically and intentionally manipulated by the producers to forcibly raise it;s value far greater than it actually should be if it's true supply/demand ratio were taken into account.
the market didn't decide what diamonds were worth, the producers did, and used decades of advertising campaigns and manipulated supply to get everyone else to buy into it.
@@Criminalupper2200 same can be said abojt paper money it literally has zero true value the value is artificial. money used to be backed by gold now it’s not. No difference in diamonds. Only thing that will ever have a guaranteed value is precious metals. (Gold silver platinum etc)

That was very informative Corey, sincerely, thank you.
I wish more people could understand how common diamonds are. Their main appeal is high index of refraction. You can make diamonds in specialized labs. You can't make gold in a lab. Even if you wanted to it would be so expensive that it wouldn't be worth it.
I found a bunch of uncut diamonds in my backyard, I tried to get a show on History but they said I need to be 300lbs and have arm Tattoos ?
All u need are tattoos now lol
@@mizaelhernandez471 Dam it I'm trying I got up to 250 pounds before the heart attack.
300 more like 450
The same can be said for lobster. It wasn't that long ago that it was food for poor people. It wasn't until rich people got a taste for the water spiders that lobster moved from the poor shool boy's lunch bag to the fine dining menus. Perceived value and demand/supply
What? Non-sequitur. Is there an analogy between real lobster/fake lobster and real diamond/fake diamond? No.
@@jofinsky8400 stfu

i doubt any poor school boy took lobster. Lobster was fed to prisoners, no way they giving that garbage to kids back then.

What a gem! Thanks for sharing your insight. Shine on superstars!
This post helped me identify a bracelet
Thank you Corey
"when you have been eathing crap food for as long as I have....one is red and one us blue"
That perfect stone would be worth $1 Mil if you get it framed
But I take all the risk with framing it and getting it authenticated
We better call Rebecca
when you been staring at stones as long as i have you will have eyes like me lol
fake diamonds are flawless and real have flaws on it!
Diamonds are purely for the curve appeal factor. They make you look rich and better than those without.
that pimple beside his nose (or whatever it is) is just screaming at me to pop it
I bought a ring from a pawn shop and after I took it to a jewelry store to see if it was real diomands and... it was! But low quality diamonds. It was a 10k ring for $400.
This is a great show. These guys are so knowledgeable about a lot of things. Very intresting to watch.
Perfect video for my recommended! Imma keep using this video to authenticate my diamonds fasho 😃
Useful Info. Thanks.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
I like this video, but im would like to call in a buddy to examine it
That neck fupa is impressive
Don't they have a diamond tester? Little thing that beeps if it real when you press it on the stone
They are telling the average person what to look for whom doesn't have a tester laying around ; )
There’s a certain fake diamond that beeps on the test
Yes, there is a test. Diamonds are the hardest mineral there is. You try to scratch it with the second hardest mineral, corundum (rubies and sapphires). A second test would be to see how well it conducts heat. Diamonds are as good as it gets. A third test would be the index of refraction; diamonds have a different index than cubic zirconia. X-ray crystallography could also be brought to bear. Those were just the first four non-destructive tests that came to mind (#5, what Archimedes discovered, do you know it?). Pawn Stars is just a TV show.
Diamonds are only worth something because we believe they're worth something. They're worthless.
If you can't tell why not just buy the fake stone and save a ton of cash
He always looks like you're wasting his time.
One of the best ways to find a CZ is to find that "Brilliance" or Reflection of white light from the table or a facet.
In real Diamonds that white light is actually a reflection of the outside world, if you focus on it, it's a PERFECT MIRROR. No matter how small a facet or big a table.
In CZ that Reflection is always imperfect and warped and never a perfect Mirror.
The Light Refraction also has a lot more Yellow and white in between the different colors in white light. So it has its own Pattern, while real Diamonds will always Refract in a pattern of colors that cycles through the color Spectrum in a linear fashion.
Anyone else get a traxnyc ad?
@buyerofsorts lol nice - I always think of the "big nose breath" also.
I have an engagement ring that i found. in the sun it gets slightly light blue, but does cz or other gems do that
it gets light blue in the sun because of the uv light from the sun, it also happens under a black light.
Yeah, I think its definetly a "I'm just too cool to even be wasting my time with other human beings" attitude ya know?
How to tell is a diamonds fake:
‘One looks like a diamond, one don’t’
Thanks Corey. That helps.
It's the 4 C's. Color, cut, clarity, AND carat weight. Anyone buying (or selling) diamonds should know that.
I wonder if Hoss and Chumlee have eating contests.
lmao
0:53 pause it he really looks like the old man..
This guy can tell the difference from a Veggie Pattie and a Real Pattie
I love how they play the musik from
"Hachiko" in the backround
A foolproof method of determining diamond authenticity is to: a) request "diamond" from seller for testing, b) place diamond on large anvil, c) smash "diamond" with a 5-pound sledge, and d) watch for customer's telling reaction.
I'm no expert but the moment I saw those two diamonds I knew I was right about which was fake, and I was right XD
They also have diamond testers at jewelry and pawn shops that can tell.
Him and mr brown got along famously
Not being happy I would think or at least not yet.
I can already see this guy accidentally calling an actual flawless stone fake XD
You should do the same thing but using a hairpiece. Use your Dad as the example and your head of hair as the opposing one. Then, you can go through the steps of identifying the hairline, coloration, coarseness and directions of the hairs and etc.
@death55546 sadly, this doesn't work, sometimes pressing f5 works, but i think you tube has disabled both.
how much do they make a day?
Thank you for this vedio. Question plz:: I have a 5.01ct stone diamond, VS 2, color J with a very good cut grade. How much would it be worth?? Thank you
Now, notch should a magnifier glass to Minecraft, so we could see if the diamonds are real.
Cory's at his peak here.
Look at the stone true a clear light source, bare eye or magnified. Twist and turn, focus on the blue light "beam" The thinner it is, then more pure. In glass or zircona it will spred widely. Blue color spread more easly due to its low wavelengd and low frequence. Thats wy the sky is blue.And diamonds last forewer, since it dont brake easly due to its high carbon compact. I have teach some jewerly shop clerks in that basic.
"It's like looking at Red and Blue"
Yep. One is indeed real and one is fake.
Color, Cut, Clarity, Carat weight
+jeweleratlarge The carat weight has nothing to do with telling a fake from the real. And that was the purpose of this particular video.
+KitCox Neither does cut, colour or clarity. These can be faked, too. The 4 c's relate specifically to the cost of a diamond, not how to tell if its real.
dam corey came a long way man
4 Cs - cut, color, clarity, carat
Corey looks a lot better these days
Staring at stones along time...i knew it!
I love this show
how can i tell if it is fake in emerald and sapphire?
I trust the Jabba the Hut dynasty and their Pawn Shop!
Blowtorch, ice melts, the real ice doesn’t
Diamonds are overpriced and are not that rare. I don’t get why people buy them at such inflated prices.
I know a buddy of mine...
so diamond stones look worse than other stones then why so expensive?
They say you can pick them up from the ground in africa.
*FOUR c's, cut, colour, carrat and clarity.
Corey,, you're a beautiful, smart individual..weight or no weight.
He knows everything, including eating an feeding his gully
So a person can not tell between a real or fake unless they use a magnifying glass? Why spend the money on a real one if it looks the same to the naked eye
Anyone dealing with diamonds should also know that there are "real" diamonds that are grown in a lab that are often times more perfect than authentic diamonds from the earth. These "real" diamonds made in a lab are the same structure of the same material, pure carbon. It is also just as strong, and just as brilliant when you see visual light through it. This is not called cubic zirconia as some people try to say. Since these diamonds are made in a lab they are able to be much cheaper than the authentic earth diamonds. One way to tell if these diamonds are lab made or from the earth is to look at the edge of the diamond that is often held by the setting it is in. On this edge will be a laser engraved marking having information like the company it was made from and possibly a serial number as well. You are likely to need some means to magnify this edge if your eyes are not that sharp. So, Lab grown diamonds... worth it, or just another impostor that happens to be just as strong and able to be just as beautiful as jewelry?
so.....its a fake! done
Just letting people know what they are getting and that there is another alternative that is, for all intensive purposes, a diamond. That and no-one had to risk their lives just to get this rock.
HikariMagic
Hi, are diamonds really for ever or is there a finite amount? i ask cause carbon is forever and the process to produce diamonds is gonna go for a while yet or was there an amount made say at the birth of earth and thats it.
rord Diamonds are not rare at all. There is a company called De Beers that owns every diamond mine in the world pretty much. They have total control over the diamond industry therefore they can control how many diamonds are distributed. They sell them to certain people under very strict contracts charging insanely high prices which these people charge higher prices to vendors that charge higher prices. This is why diamonds are rare, because of a stupid monopoly. The people who own the company if they ever step foot in the U.S.A will be arrested immediately.
You are spreading false information. First of all, some real diamonds are etched with a serial number on the edge too, so the fact that they are engraved does not mean they are lab fabricated.
Thanks claziranon !
@pulpfictionost i watch this show all the time, as soon as i made it to the second sentence i was laughing hard lol
@geomodelrailroader they do that on the show but with gold
you know it would suck if you had a flawless stone and someone said it was fake lol
XD ROTFLMAO Fantastic follow-up! However, what got me to sober up was thinking that something like this did actually occur.
That was informative , real diamonds have inclusions , well many know that , what about florescence ?
dude my moms old bf mom found a pure gold turtle with a bunch of diamonds all over it it wasnt extremely big maybe the size of a silver eagle but its cool
their is another way to tell if a diamond is fake soak the diamond in acid or alcohol if its real it will polish it if its fake it will crack because glass brakes if it is exposed to acid or alcohol
You can buy a little machine called Diamond Tester, beeps when it is a diamond. Easy
@slipknotowns34
FYI, diamond can shatter with the right amount of pressure. Please do not try smashing the stone into the ground. Do what he says, If you cant tell then bring it to someone who can.
diamonds are intrinsically worthless
@slipknotowns34 Just because diamonds are hard doesn't mean they aren't brittle... If you hit a diamond with a sledge hammer, it will shatter into grit. It's kind of like ceramic knives; you can cut stuff forever without having to sharpen them since they have a hardness of 9, unless you try to cut metal or bone at which point the knife will chip or shatter since they are brittle.
I bet Corey has seen a bunch of "stones" in his life 😂
@Akyuz1000 pretty sure CZs would mark the mirror too.
Air bubbles right?
Ha! No doubt!
Him: take it to your pond shop
Me: bring it to my pond shop
Pond shop worker: ooh can I take a look
Me: yea
Pond shop worker: scammer get scammed scammer get scammed
Maybe take it to a pawn shop instead
@@God8-O yes, a pond shop scams their customers a lot unlike a pawn shop
The massive one that looks like it’s made of glass is fake? Shocker that.
You have to compare the leigth too.
Hey there slim
Corey can tell the difference between a veggie burger and a regular burger...

Guy: C'mon the appraiser just said 40,000!
Rick: I know, but I gotta make a profit and its not mint, there's some damage, and I don't know how long its gonna sit on the shelf. I'll go to 25 if that helps.
Man he is huge in this video geez wtf do u eat to get that big!
