DIAMOND TESTER

Do you mean I can test a diamond? Like ask it what 2 x 2 is!? No, We don't mean that type of test 🙂. There are very useful tools sold that can test if a diamond is real or not. It has a needle-like tip that you touch to the stone. It measures how fast heat or electricity moves through the stone. A diamond conducts heat/electricity differently than moissanite or cubic zirconia. If the diamond is real, the tester will display a value and/or sound a signal.

Understandably, someone very well may want to verify that the diamond they are buying is actually a diamond. Buying an easy-to-use at-home tester like this one HDE High Accuracy Professional Jeweler Diamond Tester can put your mind at rest and give you comfort in knowing what you are buying is real.

Most professionals will rely on more sophisticated technology to ensure the best accuracy. We are not saying that the diamond tester linked above is 100% guaranteed in accuracy. It is always best to double-check with a professional, but they do offer a very good starting point.

The Gemological Institute of America, the American Gem Society, and the International Gemological Institute offer the most sophisticated testing in this area and if in doubt, make sure your diamond is accompanied by a 3rd party grading report from laboratories such as these.suggest this be a mandatory step in your diamond search/selection process.
