Now you know the truth behind those videos. I'm curious, how would you react if this happened to you? 😮

I would do all the research I can on the jewelry company before buying a diamond and I like one on one business when buying diamonds now a day’s

This happened to me a lot in the past when I tested the client's diamond but got very confusing results 😅😂, so I blamed the testing instrument. Now, this video proves I was right😅
Moissanite is more shiny than Diamond because it has a higher RI and a higher dispersion, it is also birefringent. That’s the easiest way to tell them apart😊

Thanks Bonnie for the video. It is really interesting. Thanks to you we have the opportunity to learn more and more ! I'll be waiting the next video ❤
Your welcome! You can definitely share this with colleagues and friends 😊 Thank you for subscribing.
If you have to test it rather than looking at it to know the difference you are better off buying the moissanite. When there is a difference of multiple thousand of pounds difference does that really matter when you have to use a tester to know the difference
Wow! Every jewlery store in my area uses these things. This video is so informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I still don’t get it. If a lab grown diamond and a natural diamond are chemically, physically and optically the same….why wouldn’t the same machine detect both as diamonds!?…….
It was explained. Lab diamonds conduct more electricity than natural diamonds. Rewatch the video and pay attention or put the cc on if you have hearing difficulties or if English is not your first language. Stay blessed.
@@violetgypsie why on earth would I do all of that work if you answered the question for me?
Great videos Bonnie! No technology can replace an actual person
❤ thank you 😊 Check out our upcoming video on how they grade diamonds soon! 💎
This is shocking for me. I always thought lab grown and the real Diamond are the exactly same just different on how they were made. Obviously man made and natural.
Now knowing that the tester will say the lab grown as moissanite, i’d have to hide or run from the people who has a tester 😅
lol....
The fact that people are allowing others to approach them with the tester….
Thanks Bonnie 💎
You bet!
I am a chemical engineer. While one is not "better" than the other, diamonds and moissanites are fundamentally different substances.
It's annoying to see the public doubt specialists- like Bonnie and Sharrie- when they lack the chemistry and physics-based knowledge that would easily combat such nonsense as these pocket testing devices.
Bonnie, love your work and I appreciate you for arming your viewers with information about FTIR Spectroscopy in a palatable way.
I always admire chemical engineers for their knowledge. You should make your own videos and share us fundamentally different substances between diamonds and moissanites. Your comment sounds like you put down a lot of people, included those people who watch this video.
Hi Naomi! Thank you so much for your support and for sharing your viewpoint. ❤️

Good to know!
Some HPHT diamonds can test as moissanite because of metal inclusions. CVD diamonds will test as a diamond. Even natural diamonds can test as moissanite if the diamond has been color treated. It changes the electrical conductivity of the diamond.
Hi Bonnie. I’m a jeweller myself from India . The part of India where I’m from the concept of Lab Grown diamonds is still very new, to a point if our Indian Prime Minister didn’t gift Dr. Jill Biden a 7.5ct Lab grown they still wouldn’t believe it’s a diamond. They call it fake. I really love using your videos and quotes as reference. Keep up the great work
Wow! I didn’t know this. Just looked it up. So cool!
First of all she's not an actual doctor and secondly I just lost all respect for everything Indian.
Omg Bonnie! I went through this!!! I have a GCAL certified 3.72 carat lab grown diamond. I got it cleaned at Kay and my husband out of curiosity wanted to have it tested. We got married in February. Well the lady said we had a moissianite. I was heartbroken 💔. My husband thought we had been scammed and said we need to go to the police! I said hold on it has a certificate!!! What’s going on! We called GCAL and they assured us it was real
Oh my gosh Melissa! We are so sorry to hear about this
@@ByBonnieJewelry thank you so much for the work you do Bonnie!! I love learning about diamonds. Keep up the good work 💋❤️
A good jeweler should be able to tell apart diamond (lab or mined) from moissanite.... they look so different!
Just save money and buy Moissanite! Its just as beautiful for cheaper! Both will test as Moissanite anyway! Unplug from the matrix!
Moissanite scratches with time, diamonds don’t 😉😉
Capp they don't scratch only .5 difference on mohs hardness scale
Just get CZ if it's trendy jewelry
@@jhrq747 No🤣🤣
I have an inexpensive diamond tester because some vendors try to pass CZ off as moissanite, and I was told genuine moissanite (which I love) tests as a diamond. Someday, I would love to buy a diamond from Bonnie, though!!
Am I the only one who got a little giggle out of the woman’s last name being “Wood Ring”?
We're here for you when you are ready, dear! And, yes! Sharrie is amazing. She was born to do what she does!
Hey Bonnie, lemme tell you the story: over 30 years ago, before starting my grand mother funeral, my dad put a big diamond on the tongue in her mouth right after she took the last deep breath. I realized AFTER her DEATH, all prosperity came to my family without any reason until now, and we are still diamond family business. Hope this helps you carry the diamond value in the right way.
You can not always trust technology
That is honestly out of date💪🏾🙏🏾💯
❤ Great point!
This is a great video for knowledge and also to avoid conflict. Lol!
Glad you liked it. It was really fun working with the instruments ❤
Good.. 👏👏👏
Are there any testers that are close enough? or are the $15 testers just as good as a $200 tester?
I have some raw uncut blaçk diamond for sale how do i sale them
That’s disappointing to know that lab diamonds will pop up moissanite because lab diamonds can conduct electricity whereas natural diamonds doesn’t. The appeal of having a lab diamonds is that it’s supposed to be like a natural diamond every single way and pass the diamond tester. I guess people will know if someone have a lab diamond vs a natural diamond due to the fact that it will read moissanite.
Exactly, but remember the particular issue was with the equipment! 💖
Lab diamonds conduct electricity due to its boron component that causes the colour of the diamond crystal to appear more white. The structure and colour improve using the boron component. Top quality lab grown diamonds are now within everyone's reach now prices are affordable due to mass production. Crappy diamond testers don't last forever, whereas lab grown diamonds do:)
CVD diamond pass the tester everytime, Hpht doesn’t
Natural diamonds can conduct electricity too if i.e. "contaminated with boron", like natural blue diamonds are. These diamonds will show "moissante" too with this particular diamond tester.
@VinciKobra not necessarily I have a cheap tester and the presidium tester cheap one on CVD diamonds will say diamonds buy the presidium tester tests moissante
Can lab created diamonds do a burn test?
You need 150k worth of electronics to descern a diamond from a moissanite? Spend your money wisely folks😅
What are the details on that tennis necklace you’re wearing
Complete specifications on our website!
Suddenly I'm happy my fiance said NO when I asked for lab diamond lol. He said "the natural thing or nothing" lol. I can be proud with any cheap tester then
If it works..
With all due respect the natural can still fail it was treated to improve its color.
I love Moissanite but yeah labs can read as this gemstone too
What do think of stainless steel wedding sets. Thanks
If it works for you it's great! 😊 Metal is just personal preference
Thank you! This saved my marriage!
Not really. Ive seen moissanite test as diamond on the presidium tester
She sells lab diamonds and she doesn't know how to use a diamond tester? I don't buy it 😅
I hope she’s not really that clueless for a jeweler lol. Maybe it’s just a script (albeit an annoying script that will make people doubt her credibility).
Not surprise at all! Why she would use a $15 diamond tester?
This diamond tester mess is pretty new.
She sales sea shells by the seashore.
So… why do lab grown diamonds show up as fake on the tester? The video didn’t explain it at all.
That's right. If the composition is the same as a digital should test as a diamond.
I get it ! It’s not accurate. But that’s ok with me because I love natural diamonds , lab diamonds and lab moissanites ! I have been buying Amazon moissanites as decoy rings for travel and day to day
Disappointed that there is a difference between lab and natural in terms of composition.
No no no. Lab diamond is **structurally IDENTICAL** but spindle inclusions acquired during HPHT growth may cause them to read as Moissanite
Just like your name don't be a fool. LG diamond and blood diamonds are DIAMONDS! sometimes blood diamonds have inclusions in nature. Go educate your self foo'
For my own peace I will stick to purchasing natural diamonds, which should not be a problem to test for any of the testers. Only issue now is to trust the grading of the diamond is that for which it was sold
Okay Adrian! Definitely. This is why it's so important to work with a diamond experts that you trust so you get exactly what you are looking for.

What happened to the moissanite video?
Not sure which one you are referring to, but my moissanite vs lab diamond video is under "education" on my playlist! ❤
@@ByBonnieJewelry thank you! Must be a glitch under my end
A lab diamond test as moissanite because the methods of making moissanite are almost identical to making lab diamonds, but yes a very expensive machine will recognize the difference! However, can your friends or the people you are trying to impress by wearing insanely expensive diamonds tell the difference? Nope! and that's why it would be more ethical and financially responsible to mount moissanite in gold settings and be happy. BTW it takes longer and cost more in material to grow a moissanite than it takes to grow a diamond! That's how foolish it is to buy lab grown. Paying a thousand times the amount it cost for them to make that lab grown diamond instead of getting moissanites is stupid
I 100% agree I just do not think the price difference warrants what you get
These the type of women getting robbed in the streets right now 😂
Did you get your tongue pierced recently bonnie? Please tell me it's a diamond stud!!
No, dear. I have had my piercing for many years now. It is, in fact, a heart-shaped ❤ diamond stud. 😅 You can see how much I love diamonds 💎
5:15 lab grown diamonds are really moissanite!!! It’s not a real diamond
Lol if its a lab created diamond its still NOT A REAL DIAMOND... its an EXPENSIVE CZ....
How is it an expensive cz when lab Diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as a natural diamonds Einstein?
A true lab grown diamond should test the same as a natural diamond because it is physically and chemically the same! Something isn’t adding up here.
Bottom line...real natural indicates diamond...lab or other is NOT natural...isn't thay the point of the tester?
Just purchase real diamonds with GIA so you dont have to worry if its real or you’re being fooled.
I love GIA. I'm a GIA alumni. But GIA does not mine, buy, sell, or trade diamonds commercially - only appraises/certifies them. Craftsmanship, curation, and many other factors come into place AFTER the certification as well.
Nice channel. If you just stop screaming. Please.
Saying a lab grown diamond is fake is a silly, emotional statement. Grow up.
Honestly its your word against anyones. Whos to know what you are selliing, a layman customer has zilch idea what they are paying through their nose for. Just my tuppence.
We use 3rd party laboratory report (GIA, GCAL, IGI) to verify authenticity. Each diamond has a specific set of laser Inscription inscribed on the diamond that is unique to each stone. It is definitely our job as a jeweler to be transparent and educate our clients on what to expect/look out for. Check out more of our upcoming videos on how they actually grade those diamonds 💎! We will be showing how they laser the numbers on the stone itself ❤
If you weigh the stone, that is all you need to differentiate a diamond vs moissanites
