Thumbs up video. He's teaches you something, even sacrificed his phone. Those talking shit about his voice, I bet you can't even speak a second language.
*He was speaking a 'Language? I'll be damned!* ( *He 'taught' me NOTHING other than "How- to sound 'ever so clever' playing with beakers & tweezers' and scratching a lens on a dead phone"* ( *The idea of accidently subjecting a REAL 'Sapphire' gem to these tests IS INSANE! A gem-finished sapphire IS RARE and worth far more than a diamond, carat-for-carat* )
Lil shoez bone I agree don't really care abotu how he sounds but does remind me of deters laboratory. Steroytypes come from a bit of truth and maybe guys like him are where those typical scientists they come up with in movies n cartoons.
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.
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!!
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.
3:55 so let me get this straight are gonna damage a perfectly good iPhone just to see if the diamond is real or not? Why not get a diamond tester that cost not even $10 on eBay?
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
Hry man i was wondering. Ive seen videos of real diamonds not influencing a lazer. Instead of the prism effect happening diamonds seem to ignore the prism effect and just go right thru straight?
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
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.
I’m gonna say this now because no one else did but if you have 43 years of experience why would you potentially ruin a very expensive diamond by ruining its point I don’t get it
@@joseph-danieltn7573 @approx 2:47 he is rubbing the point (culet) of the stone on a glass slide. diamond is hard but also brittle with cleavage planes and grain direction, any pointed part on a diamond is extremely prone to damage. on any gem for that matter. i should have been clearer and added (SO DON'T DO IT!!!) and don't hit it with a hammer either! or any of the other stupid wive's tales out there! :)
If you have to go through this much trouble to authenticate. Why bother. The high quality simulations coming outta Russia etc LOOK BETTER--And now we have Synthetic/Man Made Stones Anyway. So---
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.
So basically after following the steps in this video you'd fawk up your iphone, you'd be confused on what the fawk this guy is saying and you'd still be clueless if your diamond is fawking real. Fawk me for putting up with that 8 minutes of head banging torture. You know what "we" need to do? "we" need to learn how to speak English BEFORE "we" can post a video about anything in English.
Sorry for your iPhone but the camera lens is has nothing to do with sapphire it is just advertising trick like liqid retina is just software tweaked LCD . Watch Jerryrygeverything he tests tech properly ;)
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.
Now that CVD lab grown diamonds have flooded the market at such a cheap price and are said to be better than the real thing with no impurities it seams pointless selling a fake diamond now.
Harry Weds Not necessarily. The value of a diamond is most dependent on the carat, and clarity of the diamond. Color also plays a role in the value of a diamond but carat is the most prominent.
