How To Check If Your Diamond Is A Fake 

The diamond industry is pathetic - especially the marketing. "Every kiss begins with Kay" The implication is that my wife is a paid prostitute and that my promises have no meaning unless backed by money. It makes me want to throw up. I'll never buy a diamond in my entire life. If a woman demands one, then you are probably buying something. True love cannot be purchased. -Happily married with no stone for 40 years.

A diamond can be fake, but the love has to be real...and you don't test for that with a magnifying glass.

Yeah. Because nothing says 'I love you', like an allotrope of carbon, mined by wage slaves in Botswana.

I love all these video's that talk about how you can "test a diamond if you're not a professional", but I'm sorry, if I'm not a professional, and don't work for a jewelry store, why the hell would I have a jewelers loop?????

This is a hilarious video. Looks likes she's desperate to find out how much she can get down at the local pawn shop as soon as possible.

if you dont trust ur husband then the relation is already over

So why would you even accept the ring if you don't even trust the person who gave it to you?

Do NOT recommend you start prying away at your ring to loosen the stone out of the mounting to check if it's real! You can do more bad than good to the stone and setting and having to explain that to your significant other and the jeweler that'll have to repair it....not so good

In Canada, most states in the US, and most countries in the EU, diamonds and zircons by law must have registration as to what they are. For diamonds, or any type of stone and or jewelry, the buyer can ask for signed traceable certification. Proper certification must also include the rating specifications for what they have if and when applicable. The certification can also include the value at the time of purchase. To insure a diamond or any jewelry a signed and registered certification is required. The insurance company would require a copy.

So…you take pride in buying your fiancee a real and expensive diamond, yet the first thing she's gonna do is to check if you got her a fake or not. In that case then, when she gives birth, the first thing you gotta do is to check if it is your baby or not. LOL

im always happy to see a couple who truly love each other, its a shame more woman can't be like you.

How about checking the refraction and isometric nature of the crystal system by popping it out of the setting and doing some basic visual optics with a single point source light.

Why does that girl have a large black light on hand?

Step 6 take it to a jeweler or offer to sell it to a pawn shop. You will get your answer immediately.

Or just appreciate it for what it represents and not it's material worth or how big it is.

WOW I JUST FOUND OUT THAT 2 OF THE 3 DAIMOND RINGS MY SISTER LEFT ME ARE REAL AWSOME

OR...... Just take it to the jewelry store and ask them to check its freeeeee

Or go to a fucking mall, walk into a jewelry store and ask the person at the counter to look at it.

If its out of the setting - go for visual optics. You can use this method for colored stones as well - it will tell you approximate refraction, chemical signatures in colored stones, cubic vs other systems and a host of other things, all with the naked eye, a pair of tweezers and a point source light.

Real diamond made by modern methods are real diamond. It's Natural diamond that has flaws.So called fake is more perfect than natural stone.

Just splash some water on it. Diamonds are naturally oily and if the water beads up on the surface of the stone, then congrats. If the water sheets across the stone, you got had.

If you have to check if your diamond ring is real then, better check if your marriage is real as well.

Now she is going to sneak into his phone to check his text messages LOL!

If you have to go through all this effort to see the difference between a fake and the real thing then what's the point? If it's so hard to tell the difference then you might as well save some money and get a fake. In my opinion diamonds are boring and overpriced.

how to see if you're a gold digger!

Some shrewd businessman created this false illusion of equating true love to an expensive stone. Why do people fall prey to such silly tradition?

"Real diamonds disperse heat instantaneously" I lol'd.

"The engagement ring of your dreams." A simple white gold band :D

Yeah, diamond really is not a rare substance. In fact diamond dealers have at some points agreed in unison to destroy stashed of diamond to make it more scarce and increase their profits. The only reason people are still crazy about diamonds is because of old cultural noms, i.e: you need one to propose for marriage. but in reality the only good and actual use for diamonds is in construction. Diamond is the hardest substance on earth (perhaps the universe) so it is very good at cutting stuff.

And guys, if your woman starts doing any of this, it shows she cares more about money than you, and you just made a big mistake buying a ditch pig a ring. Sincerely, a happily married man.

Can you please tell how to check a rough diamond gemstone that would be a great help.Thankyou

I just put this on the Part 2 they jump from 5 (Hope Diamond) mentioned at the end here then on Part 2 starts with number 3????

That was cool! So, it looks that the true value of a relationship is based on a piece of shinny dirt? Sounds to me that shinny shit has more value than honesty and respect now days! Now . . ., is there any test that can reveal if the woman you are giving a stone worth it, or is just a piece of shinny stinking shit?

OMG, LMAO! Videos like this make me ashamed of my own gender but I love the hilarious comments below! Diamonds are mostly about Glitter and Greed in general with the exception of heirlooms or a lucky find on a beach. Instead of wasting time and effort on "is it real?," women should study "Conflict Diamonds, I.e. blood diamonds,.war diamonds, etc." and go for the CZ. A tester is cheap and some distinguish between moissanite and diamonds. Amazing how something with no color, a huge price tag and often mined under tragic situations is so important to our materialistic society here in the US. Sadly, the Kimberley Process has done little to insure diamonds are exempt from the blood spill by evil cartels and DeBeers themself, especially in Rwanda and DOR Congo.

it also depends on the cut, and the number of pavilion facets the stone has the CZ's shown above do not have the same number of facets as the "diamond" below

What happens if you use a small lasar beam (the kind that cat's chase around the living room for example) through a diamond???

*when u find a real diamond for $30* oh my god I knew it

Maybe the girl wants to check and make sure her fiance didn't get ripped off by a jeweler?

I have a diamond that is listed as zero fluorescence on the certificate. Under a black light it truly does not fluoresce. According to diamond experts I know it is desirable as the diamond always looks sparkly clear (never cloudy) in any light.

ooh shes so happy she got a diamond ,love is in the air!!!haha

Why would you pay thousands for a tiny mined carbon crystal as jewelry, A lab stone is better than natural stone anyway. Lab diamond will probably replace silicon as a semi-conductor, Take watch face crystals. Most watches that cost more than a 150 euro have sapphire face crystals, not glass or plastic.

I got my girlfriend some new mittens for valentines, she was waiting for me to say I was joking and pull out the real present. She's still waiting.

after reading comments i must say aussies have worlds best sense of humour.

i have looks like a rough diamond stones,can scratch the glass,florrescent but i am not sure it that it is a real rough diamond,,can you help me to where i go to gemologist,have a branch of your company in the philippines because i was living in the philippines.

So... If you watched this video and have decided to go to these measures to check if it is real or fake, then maybe you have an issue. Unless the outcome doesn't change the way you feel about it and it's plain curiosity. In other words paying stupid amounts of money to get that ring she wanted is like saying 'will you marry me? By the way I'm in debt.' I asked my girlfriend of she liked CZ which she does so now I can get her dream ring for a price I can actually afford.

you cannot damage a diamond by scratching it on glass...its called the mohs scale!

Colter Hansen I was about to comment that! You took the words out of my mouth!!!

If you bought a real diamond you will examine it, but if you know you bought fake, surely you will not. Where's the equality?

If its really this hard to tell if its a real diamond, why does it matter? You can get a ring that looks real and last for $50 from berricle jewelers. Why spend so much?

First world problems...

Thank you a lot for this video. It's so helpful for me!

That means you will never know if other people wearing fake dimonds as long as you can't pull someone home just to test his own dimond! LOL 😂

Whew! That diamond is real, which means so is his love.

dannggggg, boy, you get out this relationship! She doesn't love you enough to the point she trusts you, Or even is able to look past the possibility you didn't get her a Real diamond! Dude, that rock looks sick, she should be so happy! Man, you got yourself a gold digger up in your wallet, hiding in your closet checking rings, and man, I seen her with a real diamond eyepiece thing, you know? That tiny telescope looking thin. Man, she looking to rob a rich man. You best start running cause she hunting money. (lol)

WOW i did not know everyone has those supplies!!! -_-

Dear Sir and Miss, let i am Dara thank you very much for your kind to let me very clearly about our how to see the real Diamond before paid.

Yeah. Because nothing says 'I love you', like an allotrope of carbon, mined by wage slaves in Botswana

So how many of you women have those tools to check to see if diamonds are real or fake?

Thank you it's really useful

So if there are defects and fractures I should be happy as I have a real diamond? Personally I'd rather have a defect-free, conflict-free, larger, alternative gemstone for the same price.

If you are a bad husband like I was no diamond is good enough.

Wow... Next "How to tell if you're husband/BF is watching porn" Just know that we always do lol

That transparency test only works on a properly cut, brilliant, round.

I am former goldsmith an I've seen those things about half a million pieces. The real diamond's facets are perfectly straight because of hardness of the material. Fake diamond's facets are little bit curved. There are of course another differences, too, but there are difficult to describe.

If you have to question whether your significant other purchased a real or fake diamond...perhaps you need to re-evaluate your partner. Just sayin'.

Nice, the moneydigger channel

You can also check the appraisal and GIA certification which show details of your ring like the 4 Cs clarity, color, cut, and carat, any flaw, how much it was purchased and the market value.

I don't even like diamonds that much - there are other gems that are much more beautiful than diamonds. Diamonds are quite boring if you ask me.

Wow, this retaliation ship NEEDS to end... If someone gave me a rock i wouldn't care XD

pfff I'd just check to make sure no one ripped off my husband!

Listening to the list, I decided to just go to the jeweler instead. If someone has a black light already, I don't want to know why.

How to tell if your husband is a sugar daddy or if your mother was right about not marrying him.

the expression on the bitch's face at the end killed me :D

@Yuanci The video does not say to scratch the ring with the glass. And besides, gold is denser than glass, and will not be damaged by scratching it with glass, or the other way around. This video is missleading, Diamond cannot be damaged by anything other than diamond.

I'm jealous! I've been wanting to go there for years!

the wost form of prostitution there is.

If its shiny, expensive, & impractical, you can be sure women will like it.

The ring thing is misunderstood. For many in different cultures men would get a dowry from the family of the daughter to insure that the marriage would have a certain value or wealth attached that would benefit the new husband, as well as his bride. So I know I've been told that ring is a symbol of the never ending love similar to an Infiniti symbol. My experience is that Americans say it's about love and for some that is true, I do think it is a combination of things like the rings value determine the seriousness of the arrangement. Or it's a status symbol, or I think is it is an asset that can be liquidated if necessary. I would pawn my ring if I knew it would help me and my family that doesn't mean I'm not fully engaged in the marriage or commitment.

Does this take into account synthetic diamonds?

I feel sorry for this girl's fiancee...if she is going through all this trouble to find out if the rind is a fake-boy, he is marrying one materialistic bitch!

How to get rid of an unwanted bride: - Buy her a fake diamond. - Show her this vídeo. - Thank me later.

wow an amazing commercial thanks for the video ill surely share this video. Thanks much i never knew this.

at last she is happy... must be thinking oo now i dont have to ditch him. ;)

Oh geez, these comments

Isn't GIA or IGI certificate genuine enough to prove authenticity of the diamond?

this is just perfect video keep going man

thank you

Yep, that sounds about right. I wondered often about that. LOL :)

Hello I am Vicky from India I have one red Ruby but how to hide identify fake or original red Ruby please tell some ideas or anything mobile app

what about a GIA cert? Isnt that enough to put your mind at rest that it is a real diamond that hasnt been fudged in anyway?

Buy a diamond tester on ebay & test all your diamonds at home. If you don't know how a diamond tester works, google it on the internet there are probably videos & Instructions on how to use one. CZ's also scratch glass so that's not a valid test.

you wont damage your diamond if you scrape it across glass,if you could why not just buy glass?

I've never colecting jewelry for a year and I'm trying to make a quick buck thx for teaching hot to find fakes

how to check if your diamond is fake: stir it in coffee and taste to see if it's sweet

3:34 0.o creepy laughing smile someone check on the dude after the wedding XD

Step 4 is false because there are different levels of clarity in diamond. Si which stands for slightly included means that if you look close it has visible slight imperfections

at the start they tell you to use a blacklight then they say "don't bank on the blacklight test" lol

And now you have to take it to the jeweler to get it mounted again. Hopefully you didn't completely ruin your metal.

Thanks for the tips on seeing a real diamond . What about other gem stones.

I found about a 3ct potential diamond earlier and tested it with these methods, it passed every one of the trusted methods, I'm hoping it is real. it's already been cut and is absolutely gorgeous.
