NEVER Trust A Diamond Tester... Here's Why (Scam Alert)

- 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. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Diamonds may be expensive to buy but in reality they are worthless.
😂 how are the worthless?
@@syvonnie15 The real value of the item is whether it supports your life or maintains your survival. What can you do with a diamond when you are starving or does it clean your dishes or use as a tool? It just satisfies your social recognition demand. So basically it is worthless
@diamonds not forever
@@syvonnie15It's just a polished rock. How'd a rock worth of anything! 😑
@@syvonnie15it’s not worth much cash unless it’s from the king of france or any royal family
If it's impossible to distinguish betweeen two products after a couple seconds of looking at them, then the cheaper product wins.
Literally
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.
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 😉
Diamonds are over priced and only about 30% of them are gem quality, most diamonds I see shouldn't be in them! Most people are uneducated and misinformed, they wouldn't know a good diamond from a bad one.
Lets not forget that they originate from space i think the fact that i got space gems around my neck is a way better flex
@@AlexMartinez-ls2di well, 'we' are all from space, basically 😊
Only down side to diamonds are them being overpriced. I prefer them don't look like CZ with the rainbow flashes. I like the white lite flashes and the crisper look of a diamond
@@thegreekgod2288that's what the diamond industry wants you to think
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.
factz
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".
Exactly. Very well said!
Completely agree with you!!
Men, i have two tennis of moissanite and Jesus everytime i Wear them everybody look at my wrist!!!
That’s why they’re afraid of Moissanite, which is NOT cheap in the way its detractors mean. It is a beautiful stone and, unless you are able to buy a diamond ring that will increase in value, that’s what you should opt for in an engagement ring. The normal run of diamond engagement rings are a waste of money and many men put themselves into unnecessary debt because they don’t want others to think they are mean.
Something tells me you don’t care for moissanite lol
Mmmm
If you're in the diamond industry; you want people to buy diamonds lol. They're value is fake and all superficial. That's not mumbo-jumbo either lol, simple web search will reveal a lot about the diamond industry.
@@flatcube3706 moissanites ain't fake
@@gangnation561i think he meant diamond and lab diamond industry is fake and scam
@@gangnation561 He said the value of diamonds are fake. Moissanites are, however, lab created. Genuine natural ones are extremely rare and small. They are only found in meteors.
Your weird blatant disdain for moissanite is interesting….
Diamond spotlight haha clearly biased
Problem is even the diamomd stores are selling moissanite.
3:21 "Moissinites look good but you're not getting what you pay for"
You literally get the best bang for your buck they're double reflactive and cheaper.
Man has to keep you away from the scams and buying his overpriced charcoal
Also mainly colorless so they don’t twinkle the same
I agree diamonds are way over priced
I believe that he meant if it is sold as a diamond, and you _pay_ for a diamond, but get a moissanite. IF it was sold as Moissanite, there would be no reason to test it.
@@mroldnewbieYes I agree that is exactly what he meant with that statement.
CLEARLY a moissanite is a great choice!
I don’t know who needs to hear this, please don’t pay $7000 for a lab or synthetic diamond!! Go with the moissanite!
Moissanite is literally made in a lab 😂
@@oplmarket The point I was making, that went right over your head… is the price point. Lab diamond- $7000 Lab Moissanite- $70🤔
@@petezahman3914 fuck that I ain't a broke boi
@@petezahman3914 Hi, dear, I don't know much about diamonds, But is also the Mossionaite diamond also real? Cause all my life I've only heard natural and lab grown, so that's why I rooted for the lab-grown, cause its similar and I thought it was much more cheap, but please do tell me more about the mossionaite,...please dear, Will appreciate for the advice, Thanx...
@@leonalyon8201 Moissanite, in it's natural form, is rare. Only about 14-15 karats have been found. Lab grown is still moissanite just as lab grown diamond is still diamond. Moissanite is NOT a diamond, nor is it a synthetic diamond. It's a different stone. It shines more, has more fire than diamond. And is nearly as hard as a diamond. That's why moissanite will test as diamond. These testers test hardness. Moissanite barely rates below diamond, but is prettier. A cheap moissanite is not a good stone anyway. I would rather have a good moissanite than diamond.
Moissanite is next to diamond in terms of toughness. Lab created with no inclusion. Diamonds are overrated.
Diamonds are as old as our planet, moissanites are artificial and boring, they have no story to tell. They're nice and sparkly but nothing more, they're overrated af.
Diamonds aren't overrated but overpriced.
That's why many are buying moissanites, as long as they know it's a moissanite.
Buying a diamond in general is a scam.
Don't trust that $20 diamond tester....fixed it for ya
what's a good diamond tester? Thank you.
Very informative - thanks! 🙏🏼
thank you for you sharing this video.
Don't buy cheap diamond testers period and the one your using not designed for Moissanites. The most effective way to tell Moissanite apart from a diamond is to use a loupe to look through the top, or the crown, of the jewel at an angle. You will see two slightly blurred lines that indicates a double refraction, an inherent quality of Moissanite. Double refraction is easier to see in some shapes than others
My blue sapphire is showing diamond but my yellow diamond doesn’t .
Diamonds themselves are a scam. They are the most common stone, nothing rare about them at all.
@Kahel Diamante you need to do some research, because diamonds of any shape or color are common.
@@rustyshacklferd535 most are lab grown anyways
Maybe if you found a good quality large diamond maybe, but you probably be under the cartel's radar for it
The diamond tester measures heat flow. The conductivity test is to insure that you are not touching metal with the probe.
Is this device valid for me to test? Is this the correct method that I used? thank you
Moissanite earrings are NOT $40. Ring is NOT $70. Those aren't Moissanite. Moissanite is actually much more expensive, if they are real. $40 for earrings indicates cubic zirconia priced jewelry.
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!
what diamond tester should I buy? since that one is "old school"
I just want to
Ask something can a diamond tester
Can
Know or
Test a gemstones like emerald and ruby?
Diamonds have been highly revered and valued in ancient cultures for their perceived healing, spiritual, and mystical properties.
Hmmmm thanx for this bro ! Guess we shouldn’t trust any videos out there!!!!
Thank you for showing me this! I cant wait to scam some people💎
Natural honey or blue Cambodian zircon is the best ...although expensive.
I use those thing distinguish mois and cz.. Just buy mois its more than enough.. 😊😊
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.
Just buy a Moissanite tester. They work great. You can also use your Rainbow Eye.
If I dropped this tester on the pin and bent it should it still be trusted?
If someone is buying lab diamond: saved your money! Buy a moissanite. A lab made stone is a lab made stone!
I burned mine today after seeing someone on TH-cam do it and I was mad that I couldn’t return it so I figured why not I’ll play with.. omg ! It defined the facets and now it looks like a diamond 🤣😂😂😍
what tester do you suggest if one wants a tester. i know you say dont rely on them but which one would you use if you were to use
These ones are about $10-$40 depending on where you get them. You can buy much more expensive ones that can differentiate between moissanite for about 300 $400….
I mean, unless you’re opening a store why would you need anything other than the cheap model….
What we take from this is that you are paying $7000 for the brand and certificate of a “Real“ diamond when in fact a Moissanite is a real diamond and will last you as much as a “real“ diamond just not marketed enough to cost $7000. there is no difference between a lab created diamond and one harvest from the earth. Moissanite is also sold by Tiffany and big brands and its just 1 step less hard than a diamond. That was unethically sourced by violence in some country.
Facts moissanite is 9.25 on the scale and diamonds are 10 on the scale. But yeah I wouldn't pay 7k for it.
The reason diamonds are more expensive is because they cannot be lab grown and the process to mine and search for a bigger piece is harder
@@lestermoses5545 this is very wrong. Diamond CAN BE and are widely lab grown. They cost a little bit less than a natural diamond.
No, in fact a moissantie is not a real diamond. duh its moisonitte. Do I really have to point this out.
That particular tester is bad. It was in another TH-cam video. There's another model with smooth edges that's accurate.
Corundum also tells same reading on dimond tester
Note : Conducting heat not electricity .
I heard most mossianite in jewels are lab mad because actual mossianite is too small and hard to fine.
Natural moissanites come from outer space
@@gurple9319 Hahahaha
@@henriverheyen6190 It's true
@@henriverheyen6190 It is true. Look it up.
@@henriverheyen6190 They do come from outer space. Moissanite was discovered in a meteorite crash. At first they thought it was diamond. Naturally moissaniates are very tiny space rocks and much rarer than diamonds.
Was it not designed for Diamonds. What is Moissanite called
What is the price of this selector??
Also if the director hits metal besides stone, it will show as being a stone lolol
Throw that instrument away!
What tester do you recommend? I have the one in the video which I learned is not dependable.
ah, that plate in the back is for heatsink. You don't need to touch that.
Diamonds are beautiful, I have some, but Moissanite is just as great and more beautiful!!!! Also Moissanite is a real gemstone, just not a diamond.
How much cost can you buy Moissanite I have three
Synthetic or lab grown diamond still a diamond but man made but better than the natural one.
THANK YOU!🤓
best of Best helpful.thanks
I BOUGHT THIS TESTER AND IT SUCKS THEN
Im having some stone are you able to come for checking
Hi bro i have same tester I tested on some rough stones tester showing all points up to red 🔴lights 💡it's diamonds
Thnks for share with us
What tester is best?
It has to be a skit considering the mascot didn't have the diamond tester even on.
What do you recommend using that will test and differentiate between lab and natural.
Natural diamonds will have inclusions whereas labs are flawless. I suggest you to buy a jeweler's eye (loupe) so you can see internal details of a stone.
@@Cerez78 please recommend one + strength?
@@delivieverytome7368 any will do. Ones with a light are nice.
@@delivieverytome7368 any loupe will do. Ones with the led lights are nice.
Don't press really hard, you'll ruin your tester
I touched a diamond tester to selenite and it quit working for ever.
They cost a lot but aren’t worth shit when you want to sell
I saw the thumbnail and thought "bunk ass tester" then i read the title and it saved the day 🙏🏼 real testers go for about $200
Dude….. they make testers that can differentiate between moissanite. It’s just a 1000% price difference.
Some ppl pay 100.000 for natural diamonds 🤦♀️🤷♀️
How much is it!
Moissonite is the second hardest but why so cheap in price
My mom told me if I don't have anything good to say don't say it... So I took that my mom wanted me to provide a solution not a problem.....You gave us the problem and did not point out the solution..? HELLO.. can you recommend a good tester...Wouldn't you think that would help people more? URL Link?
The title should be why you shouldn’t trust a cheap $15 diamond tester
I’ve seen $300 testers that still show moissanite as a diamond. You need some extra equipment and knowledge or an extremely expensive tester.
Moissanite is pretty expensive. Much rarer then Diamonds (Natural Moissanite that is)
Moissanite is only found in nature as an inclusion in in Diamonds.
And a natural Moissanite would be much more then a diamond.
Moissanite is worth more then many other natural gems.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat???? Did you not hear him say he go the Moissanite for under $100 on amazon?
@@chiccngeorge3058 It's a lab moissanite. Natural moissanite is more expensive and rarer than natural diamond. Moissanite fans want it because it's NOT diamond. It was never meant to be considered a synthetic diamond. It's far superior in color and fire to diamond anyway.
Thanks
Isn't that one of those fake diamond testers? Correct me if im wrong
These are the propaganda people look how slow the moisanite goes up cause conductivity is slower a real diamond it shoots up quickly so only propaganda people cant tell the diffrence duhhh
So why the hate on mosanite
"probably plastic" lol i do not condone the moissanite slander
My moissanite aren’t under $100 but they def test as diamond. 😂I change my mind on styles so much that it’s more cost effective until I figure out what I want. I have a few diamond rings I’m bored of . Nice video
Mossiante is a real diamond no cap💯
Dude…then so is any rock.
Mountain Dew is basically water, they’re both wet *whoosh*
Worth fuck all
The moissanite looks better 😂 drop the links I want the earrings lol the ones I bought from Amazon didn’t
Test as moissanite I feel like they scammed me with a CZ
How can we test a diamond by ourselves. To avoid fake diamond while purchasing?
there's a $200 one that tests for moissanite
If you don’t want to buy your own tester, just learn how it works and have them test it in front of you.
I'm selling diamond and mossainate tester. It cost around $400-500
The real issue here is buying diamonds 💀💀💀💀
How can sell daimon
Moissanite is way better
Thank u for great info. so, what is the proper way to check diamonds?
I have a DN-1 Diamond inc tester, expensive but quality made in USA not china and sorts diamonds from any other gems
What if the tester touch the steel or iron will it beep?
ya, the tester beep on my watch hahaha
These diamonds are
pre-Moissanite.
This jewelry company
was out of business by then.
Gee.
Maybe I actually know
what I'm doing.
Now I know now
Do not buy this type diamond tester cause it has reel when when you touch any surface it will ring up
What tester do you recommend? I have the one in the video which I learned is not dependable.
The moissanite looks better 😂 drop the links I want the earrings lol
Why am I seeing videos of lab made diamonds testing as moissanites ! 😮 so confusing for the consumer
You just need a high quality tester but yeah, they’re pretty hard to distinguish😂
They are both Synthetics and labgrown. Why not try on Natural rough uncut moisenite and Natural rough diamond, lets see how that selector work.
Great info video...thanks...
I would never trust or purchase a diamond with someone using a 5 dollar diamond tester from China like you've got.
Don't rob yourself buying a real diamond that is not rare and are worth next to nothing if you try to resell it
I asked a real Jewish jewler ..and he said those cheap ass ebay testers can't tell the difference..you need a real 500 tester
What tester do you recommend? I have the one in the video which I learned is not dependable.
@Jodie Pearson
Get a real professional tester..but they are a few hundred. Versus the $20 ebay one showed....Amazon has a few good ones
never use a 10 dollar cheap tester. A good tester costs 400 dollars
Annnnd it doesn't matter. If you gotta pull out a tester to determine if it's real or not, it's irrelevant, unless you can tell me it's fake just buy looking at it, it's irrelevant if it's real or not. Why? Because only a tester is telling you what it is. And without it y'all have no idea.
Lmfao... real diamonds will scratch most all other surfaces, lab diamonds are much less dense and almost never scratch glass.
