How To Spot Fake Diamonds? (Diamond Authenticity Test)

[@TheScottGillies]

AHHHH!!! OH My GOD! What's crazy is that once I have seen the difference, I notice that I can spot it @0:41 when you haven't even zoomed in yet! THANK YOU! I have been a fan of crystals for many years and some stuff just CLICKED right here for me! Woooooow!!

[@sues6403]

None of these tests, other than the density test really help me to determine a stones validity. Unforunately, the verbal recording was not within my ease of hearing. I would look for inclusions or test it with a meter.

[@henryjasonyauzhang3037]

iPhone's sapphire lens is not pure; therefore, it's hardness level is lower. There are many videos that explain the weakness of the iPhone's sapphire lens.

[@pixelpixie9289]

Hey dude, a diamond tester cost $10 on Ebay

[@voltadox]

That's not the point

[@hairio3871]

eBay is a scam mostly I order a 10k ring and they never gave me it so I waited 1 year and it stil never came

[@enterpriseinfinite4900]

He prefers to do a scratch test on a iphone camera lens....tsk tsk tsk

[@myaboothang]

@@hairio3871 This is a lie because why would you buy a 10k ring from eBay but normal people go actual ring brands

A gem-finished sapphire IS RARE and worth far more than a diamond, carat-for-carat* )

[@Swoop180]

A diamonds reflective index is what makes it difficult to see a line through it. An easy way to differentiate between a real V. fake, especially in cooler weather is the condensation test. Blow on the stone like you would your glasses to clean them, if condensation remains when you pull away to look, it's a fake. Or if you happen to be a jeweler, you know.

[@matthewburns6843]

[@jayjanyh2932]

Use the "fog" method. Breathe on the stone and you will see it "fog up". On a real diamond, the "fog" will evaporate within 1.5 seconds. I have not tried this test on the synthetic (man made) diamonds, by BrilliantEarth, LightBox, or CleanOrigin.

[@E-Kat]

Not always!

[@lancerooke]

Man made aka lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. There will be no difference in their properties.

[@justiceleague9658]

Industrial method produced diamond is even better than the natural one. the colour, clarity are both better.

[@Hytegia]

I wanted to say that you can determine the volume of a diamond by it's visual size vs carat rating. A good way to tell all of this is by the price you pay: if you get a diamond that is impeccable and that has zero blemishes or inclusions to 2x magnification then you're either holding a super expensive diamond or a fake.

[@Tamarajade92]

As a gemologist, the moment you put ‘diamond’ A on the line I confirmed my suspicion it wasn’t a diamond. diamond is so highly refractive, the line will never curve unless its severely included. From the moment you first showed them side by side I knew A was most likely a CZ. You can tell by the sharpness of the facets. Sorry you got scammed. But that’s why you shouldn’t ever trust what you buy online. As I always tell my customers, if it seems too good to be true when I come to jewelry, it usually is.

[@danielsonmiagi2430]

What does CN stand for?

[@Tamarajade92]

Danielson Miagi CZ? It stands for cubic zirconia. A man made stone.

[@SuperJahobo]

If you're a gemologist then why are you watching a video on how to test a diamond?

[@sysierius]

Ermmm the sapphire in the iphone isn't as hard as real sapphire.... Watch JerryRigEverything

[@unknownerror3568]

On mohs hardness scale diamond is rated at a 10. Sapphire is 7 or 8 can't remember sorry. The iPhone camera lenses contains very little amount of real Sapphire. the lense starts scratching at a 6 sometimes 5. Now glass is rated at a 3-4 depending on what type, which allows diamond and Sapphire to scratch it. And allows diamond to scratch Sapphire. This should summarize this whole video

[@sbssbsshshbss8382]

if you are getting married does it matter if your love one give you a fake one

[@janswed09]

How about buying your own diamond why is it always up to the guy just because you have a vage his pee pee is just as valuable if not more.....

[@Mikaeel_Ally]

Another easy way to test it is to find hard flat surface (flat stone)and a hard stick and put your diamond underneath it and try to crush it if it crushes it is fake and if it does not it is real

Take 1200 grit sandpaper and sand it. Everything except diamond will have scratches.

[@AussieChemist]

Stefan Dekoker 1200 grit only means the abrasives on the sandpaper are very fine, doesn’t necessarily means the abrasives have high hardness. and there are diamond abrasive sandpaper on the market which will scratch a diamond

@@AussieChemist ive been in the diamond trade since 92 and it is still the best way to test. A diamond is 10 on the hardness scale.
