I personally think that the fake one was alot more cloudy wile the real one was as clear as day

[@keanumcguire263]

It’s actually the opposite most times

[@stevenkwon710]

Wrong cubic has different quality really good shiny coast expensive than normal cubic

[@staticdescent4769]

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

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.

Yeah because you had a real one close, imagine trying to guess having only one at the time in your hand :)

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?

[@nazfx2648]

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]

@@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

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

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

[@mainlyn8914]

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.

[@adri_makeup]

Right the fake one had like a blueish tint to it

[@dr.floridamanphd]

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

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

[@neggispringfeild]

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

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

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.

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

[@Taylors.Version.13.]

Me getting so happy when I was guessing to see if I could tell.

[@Mira-uq5ez]

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.

[@Godofwar_999]

Wow I figured it out on my own in the beginning of the video

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