There's different quality of diamonds and cubic zirconia. My wife's ring is VS diamond. Only and last diamond I'll buy. They're not rare and the price is inflated insanely. Based on the price of diamonds, there's trillions of dollars of diamonds just sitting in reserves.
I have absolutely no previous experience on choosing diamonds but I could clearly see which one is real even before this guy told. The fake one had an unreal touch to it
I mean cubic one is foggy and less clear and diamond is literally clear and moreover it's prismic properties are more than just reflecting one like cubic one and as well diamond captures light more or so alike
@@zickity4453 yea it can, a hammer will shatter a diamond like it does with a CZ , the hardness scale means like a simple scratch test, like saying a car can run over a rock and the rock won’t break but if you get a hammer and smack it the rock will shatter where as the car weights more than the hammer and the force you apply
@@vincedeguzman3779 Their effort doesn't matter. What matters is how large amounts of diamonds are kept and sold in small amounts to keep the prices up. Even if theyre valuable theyre not worth these prices
My eyes allow me to see colors differently than others, this let's me see that diamonds are yellow while zirconias are blue to me. This makes it very easy for me to tell the difference
I was able to tell which one was which I guessed because the cubic whatever looked susly perfect and very very bright so I just assumed the more grayish one was real, and I was indeed correct.
There is a greater amount of blue in the fake. The difference (to me) is like comparing household lightbulbs. One is a more warm colored and the other(like the energy efficient bulbs) is more blue/white
If your diamond has scratches that’s usually a good sign it’s not a diamond… unless you’ve been rubbing your diamonds together and scratching them with each other
I've always wondered, as a jeweler, what is your stance on lab grown gems(the ones that are actual gems, just made in a lab). Like how some gems have many uses, but are too expensive to be practical (like a massive diamond tipped blade). Anyways, I'm going on and on. Tl;Dr what are you opinions on lab grown gems?
I think he said once that lab grown are better for many reasons because 1. Its a lot cheaper 2. Its hard to tell the difference between a real and a lab grown own 3. Lab grown ones dont have children with guns at their heads mining for them
@@Syndicalism when they us the machine that checks the make up of one absolutely yes they can. Otherwise there is no 100% was to be sure, but thats with any one
I love how he said for the average person it's hard too tell but I immediately pointed and said that's the fake. Than he put up the label and explained how it was the fake. My family grew up dirt poor so I haven't been around a lot of diamonds Its just small things any perceptive person could pick up. Lab grown materials and naturally formed materials are easy to tell apart when outside the jewelry casing. It's much harder to tell when someone is actually wearing a piece but the differences are pretty easy to spot if you just look.
I was told if you draw a line on a piece of paper and you put the diamond on the line face down, you will not see the line with a real diamond but with a fake one you will. Can you confirm for me?
Wow I was able to tell.... I think it's because ai go to thrift shops and goodwill and similar places and by eyespot gold, diamonds, and some other valuables...I naturally learned to tell by eye since I didn't want to just whip out testers in a shop lol
I just use the flash of light across the top of the diamond and zirconia. Zirconia will reflect more light as the diamond will absorb more of the light
Y'all be careful who you listen to. The diamond industry is dead set on trying to convince you that real diamonds are obvious and superior. The reality is that lab made diamonds are scaring the crap out of their diamond market. No more monopoly money for the corrupt and what not.
Those edge can also be achieved in cubic zirconia, they just aren't normally produced in a way that achieves this. With the correct conditions, a "fake" diamond can be cleaner and more perfect than the majority of diamonds in the rings of women.
This is because the moh's scale hardness differences between diamond (a 10) and cubic zirconia (6-6.5) now those flashes are actually a value determining property called dispersion (called "fire" in the industry) and that high dispersion is the main reason people say diamonds are so beautiful, but they are definitely not the highest in dispersion by no means and cubic zirconia (which is a synthetic gem and not to ever be confused with the natural and awe inspiring Zircon gem) had almost double the dispersion or "fire" than that of diamond.
the cubic zirconia looked way more cloudy and also had a strong blue tint, while the real diamond was clearer than my vision and had no blue tint to it
Don't know if it's like this for ALL fake diamonds, but I immediately noticed the fake one also looked sort of a "milky" color, whereas the real one was pretty clear.
My grandpa said that if take it into the Light than out of the light and it still shines, and if you can see into it but not see through it it is a diamond
Years ago I started selling rocks that I picked up off the ground I worked my way up to diamonds by the time I reached diamonds I had already gotten very well good at telling them real and fake/manufactured and it's a great trick to use on my friends because half the time they think it's a real diamond and it ain't and the other half the time they think it's a fake and it's real it's fun to mess with them because I'm actually no just easy off hand I look at it and I can tell thanks for the explanation of how I can tell though never could put my finger on it but it's just you look at it and you can tell didn't even know what I was looking for I could just tell
Moissanite also shows a bunch of insane flashes (more than CZ) compared to diamond. The amount of moissanites I’ve seen people get mad that they didn’t pass the diamond tester was insane…
I see a difference in the 2 just from them being help up. The fake one had a stronger blue color to it while the real one was more clear and had super bright colors shining through it. Not sure if the cuts matter and which way the light shines through them or not.
Nothing like a expensive polished rock , that is needed to prove your Love for a girl that will be taking it to a Pawn shop in a year or two and get less then 30% of the original price when she dumps you !
Cool thing about diamonds. They are very conducive and if you put a diamond and a metal nut on a piece of ice they will melt the ice at the same pace. Another way to test if a diamond is real.
Well diamond is the hardest material there is, meaning it is most resistant to scratching, so edges shouldn’t be worn unless it was purposefully done. You could probably take sandpaper to fake diamonds and see the worn edges.
Wow , it took you many years to differentiate between real and fake . For me it took me 1 reel (not this one) to learn the difference by just looking at it. I could tell the diff right away as soon as you showed them. The blurry shine the fake has, it’s because of the crumbly edges and how bad it reflects the light. 😮 super easy. Next .
Easy way to do it is to get a mirror and put the top side of the diamond on the mirror if it will crack ur ring is real if not that means it's fake because in some factory's diamonds are used to cut mirror into different shapes
I also noticed that there were other blemishes on the cubic zirconia, it appeared as though there were minor dents or poorly defined edges or cuts such as around the perimeter
You can also see what's a fake diamond and a real diamond with a torch A cubic zirconia will break into pieces but a real diamond would stay into shape and not break
I personally think that the fake one was alot more cloudy wile the real one was as clear as day
It’s actually the opposite most times
Oh ok
That’s the one thing I noticed too.
Fact...
Wrong cubic has different quality really good shiny coast expensive than normal cubic
The fake one also looked more cloudy and grey. I’m surprised I noticed that right away lol
I thought it looked blue
No, it didn’t 😂🤣🤣
@@CeeWorld69yes it did. Are you blind? The cubic clearly looks cloudy and white
@@shotty2164 no it’s not 😂
So cubic zirconia is more sparkly and its flaws only come out when incredibly closely inspected, aswell as far cheaper. Sounds like a much better deal
"Go fake or go home!" lol.
But expensive shiny rock 🥺
Blood Diamond is a movie about where some of the diamonds in the world come from…great watch.

I’m no diamond expert but when you showed the 2 diamonds, I knew immediately which one was fake and real
Yeah because you had a real one close, imagine trying to guess having only one at the time in your hand :)
The fake diamond also has a different color to it. It looks more like glass the diamond has that very small off white color or tint to it.
When you showed the real and the fake side by side, the fake looks like almost like it had plastic or something in its component.
and they were both completely different colours
I think it depends on the quality of CZ as well.
No
I have absolutely no previous experience on choosing diamonds but I could clearly see which one is real even before this guy told. The fake one had an unreal touch to it

It would be hard to tell if they weren't side by side

True cuz diamonds is denser than the fake one of course stronger too
Diamonds can easily be shattered by hammers...

I recall reading somewhere, that artificial diamond were so good, that imperfections were signs of it being naturally made aka real diamonds
Yup, lab grown diamonds can be made unrealisticly perfect.
lab grown and basically the same just made in a lab
This is the total opposite my friend, did you pay attention to the video even?
what if artificial lab diamond creators start adding impurities?
@@thefarewellthe guy literally says cubic zirconia in the vid but there are actual fake diamonds that are structurally identical
I literally just guessed the diamond was the real one because it looked clear while the cubic zirconium looked like it had a blue tint
I'm glad I wasn't crazy lol, it definitely seemed like it had a bit of a cold blue tint compared to the real diamond.
I love how I instantly knew which was which. The real diamond was slightly duller then the cubic zirconia.
Honestly in my opinion I feel like cubic zirconia looks better just because of the more and higher sparkle
Congrats, you made it easier for people to make fake diamonds!
If it takes this much effort to tell the difference, diamonds shouldn't be so expensive
Tell that to the millions of years of metamorphosis and diamond miners aswell as diamond shapers and the needed tools to shape and make a diamond

Right the fake one had like a blueish tint to it
The cubit zirconium (CZ) was cloudy and looked like crap. The real diamond had much better clarity and fire.
Wellll you had a 50% chance of picking the correct one… not really difficult to choose correctly with those odds

Fake
stole from UMR Gaming bot, lol.

Never buy diamonds. You get ripped off for something that does nothing other than look sparkly.

real was clear and fake was cloudy, because both diamonds were side by side. Seeing only one diamond requires mastery

It’s because of the hardness, you can shape a diamond and it will hold the shape.
