Very informative video. I was looking for something as detailed and precise as described because I've got a few pieces I'd like to confirm are authentic, mainly a few watches that have diamonds set around the bezel as well as a few rings I've had for a while. Interesting how the tester works and it's various settings. Many thanks for the education!

Picky, thank you so much. You should have been a teacher, your video explained how the diamond tested works, so well. I've owned the same tester for years, but never figured out how to use it. After watching other videos, it was you who showed me how it works. Thank you soooooo much. Oh, by the way, the diamond gold ring I found with my metal detector at the beach, It's not a diamond, but it still is gold :).

[@pickychick777]

[@verniemax]

This was an excellent video!! I was able to follow along with your instructions and check some of the jewelry I had. I had a ring that I knew had real diamonds and so by using this one I was able to determine that I was following along with your instructions accurately and so when I check some other pieces and the device did not register them as being real diamonds I knew I was using the device accurately!! Tfs!!

What if you're not touching the back metal panel? Alos, what if you calibrate with wrong number? I'm confused as to where to start. The size of the diamond is a subjective thing.

[@pickychick777]

Regarding touching the back metal plate, I am just relaying the manufacturer’s instructions-- as far as the stone size, there is a guide on the device. Do your best to estimate, and if unsure, you can always adjust the size dial to see if you’re getting the same results. Thank you for watching!

[@eternalwizard776]

@@pickychick777 absolutely! You saved me from flipping out on the jeweler I bought it from lol. The only reason I thought to check it was because my band is failing because it is just over 5ct and I had them set it in sterling silver to match my other jewelry but I haven’t even had it for a year and the setting is quite bent. Found out from some local reputable dealers that it should’ve never been such an sterling silver tip again, and that even the design of the setting is poor. So I thought since the jeweler I bought it from didn’t have that kind of knowledge that maybe they gypped me on the stone too 😅 it came out perfect after taking the cap off lol. The funny thing is it felt super squishy and I was like I’m pretty sure every other diamond tester. I’ve seen has a metal tip, but the cap literally looked attached to it lol
