- Can you tell a real diamond from fake one? Watch us burn a diamond to see if it’s real or fake. That’s 1 out of the 5 tests we’ll be conducting in this video.
To order diamonds, visit: www.crmjewelers.com/diamond-i...
Real diamonds are amazing minerals. To make them, we’ll need to travel almost 100 miles deep into the Earth and experience extreme pressures and scorching 1000-degree C temperatures...for billions of years!
That’s how special diamonds are..But in the world we live in, sometimes it’s a challenge not to get scammed with a fake diamond (aka diamond simulant). Cubic zirconias (CZs) and moissanite stones are some of the “fakes” that constantly duking it out against our natural gemstones.
We’ll show you how a 1-carat diamond fares on certain tests against CZs and moissanites, as well as some of its amazing properties. This information can be invaluable to you when buying a diamond, as it’ll help you avoid making mistakes ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Here are the different tests conducted in the video:
00:24 The Water Test - Tests a diamond's relative density to other minerals.
01:20 The Scratch Test - Tests a diamond's hardness.
02:36 The Newspaper Test - Tests a diamond's ability to refract light.
03:24 The Flame Test - Tests a diamond's ability to withstand high temperatures.
05:24 Conductivity Tests - Tests a diamonds conductivity vs a moissanite.
06:25 Bonus Tests - You gotta see this one! There's no other way!

Hey no bad word
This is an amazingly informative and straightforward guide on diamond tests. No fluff, no waste of time, no music, no distractions, just pure learning. Thank you so much for this video. This video is a shining example of quality content on CZcams.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and support!
You should never use destructive tests like this.
Diamond does scratch diamond. What if both your unknowns are diamond?
Yeah, you just damaged a diamond.

That's so true, it's damn difficult to find content like this.
I wouldn't try smashing my hard earned purchased diamond just to prove whether it's fake or real 😂
Same with the scratch test. It only make sense to do if you already know you have one fake, otherwise you'll just risk ruining both...
My heart skipped a beat, when u took the hammer.
Ha Ha, that was the goal. 😉
@@Crmjewelers buuuut then you just reminded me of MatPats Video of Game Theory on why Diamond Armor in Minecraft is a bad idea!

I want a ring with a diamond just for myself from my own pocket but i need to save 😅
@@TerrorOfTeacup haha good luck
Yep
I burst out laughing when the diamond shattered into pieces, only to find out it was the fake one. Good one 😂
LOL, I get that all the time. 😜
@@Crmjewelers what tha fuck 😆😂
Am a local seller for rough Diamonds and Gold Dust in Sierra Leone
I don't think testing that way is a good idea diamonds are stones though they hardest thing known to man they will break.
This is not a proper way of testing the Diamonds, am a local gemologist for my community miners. I can tell without Touch
“Trast me” 😂 love this lady
Another awesome video CRM! This video really showed that more of a reason to buy jewelry from a reputable Jewelers like your self. There is so much to watch for nowadays when buying a diamond. Have a wonderful day guys! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much Nickel for your continuous support!
I’d love to see the difference between real & lab created Fabulite vs. Diamonds like y’all did with the Moissanite!! Thanks so much! Love your videos!!
Can you imagine someone doesn't know that the hardness doesn't effect tenacity and then shatters their diamond thinking it was fake?
Serious mistake, please get this clear: A REAL DIAMOND IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE; A SINGLE BLOW WITH A HAMMER WILL SHATTER IT INTO TINY PIECES. YES, IT IS HARDNESS 10 ON THE MOHS SCALE, AND IT CAN ONLY BE SCRATCHED BY ANOTHER DIAMOND. A HAMMER DOES NOT SCRATCH A DIAMOND; IT SHATTERS AND BREAKS IT. Goodbye.
Thank you for the information. Is there any simpler test to find out whether they are real. When the stone is set in a rimg. Please let me know
Wow, this is really informative. Thanks for making.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Her "what the f*ck" was CLASSIC!

Genuinely impressed by this video. Good work!
When Eric left I thought it was all over for CRM. However you have evolved and taken this channel forward with high quality unique content. A brilliant reinvention. Happy new year guys and all the best for 21.
Thanks man. Really appreciate that. We went in a different direction with the channel and want to show more diverse content that does more justice to the jewelry industry, not just watch reviews. Really appreciate the support.
I was waiting for " scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7"
She went deeper and deeper grooves xd
Wrong channel 🤣
I had a solitaire diamond ring that got tossed & it hit the side of a kitchen sink. When looking at it afterwards, I noticed the chip on it. The sink was not stainless steel. It knew it wasn't a very good quality diamond but didn't think it should have got chipped. Took it back to the jeweler & it was very obvious that it was a slightly larger, as well as a much better quality diamond had replaced the original. Was there a good possibility that the original might not have been a genuine diamond?
Nice, very informative,
Thank you for this wonderful content.
Thank you very much.
High quality content! Thank you!
I hope you have more views and subscribers
Thank you very much.
You guys should definitely make a REAL vs FAKE: Gold edition, also explaining different levels of purity!
Dont ever try the heat test for any real diamond..it will damage it for sure..rapid heating and sudden cooling
Hammer test was the best ever.. 😂
Good information enjoyed watching this and learn something that I never knew before thank you
Thank you so much Ross. I'm glad 👍👍
This test was great. The simple way to tell a CZ from a diamond is to get a carat weight conversion chart, measure the stone in question, then weigh it. CZ and diamond are so different that it'd be impossible to confuse them in this regards.
Fun fact: the first cubic zirconia (CZ) was found in nature, as an inclusion in a metamict zircon. While unstable and eventually breaking down, CZ is actually a natural gem just like sapphire or any other...except that what we have was all grown in a lab.
yes the high specific weigh of cubic zirkonia is a disadvantage to create jewelry for the ears with setted bigger stones.
How do you assess the carat? Those who sell you fake diamond would not give you the correct carat.
@@tenton459 by mm width. Even with varying crown and pavilion depths, the specific gravity is so different that they can't be confused in solitaire sizes.
The spund of the heated fake one falling in the water was soooo pleasant in a weurd way. I want to hear more diamonds scream
I played with diamonds and nice bit as well as other gems and I've noticed for some reason the refraction of the color seems to be fairly noticeable I usually get it right about 7 out of 10 times
You got a trained eye 👌😉
The colors are sharp and it glistens with clarity
The only way to learn is to look, look and look a million times, at different colors, qualities, brilliance and at fake and real ones side by side. It's like with paper money: by knowing what the real paper feels like you detect the fakes.
Yeah... ya got me too. Lol 😂 dope vid. #diamondteeth was grittin’ when you swung the hammer. 👍
Ha Ha Ha
My heart stopped when you bike the CS 😂
Ha Ha Ha. That was the plan.
Hi there... how can I clean and recharge a point of citrine ? Thanks
A diamond can still be permanently damaged from burns, as per GIA

Mossanite is a gemstone in it's own right and was was found in a meteorite around the 1893 and has only been used in jewellery since 1998 you could say it's rarer than diamonds, diamonds are not rare as many people would think it's the way diamonds have been marketed, one of the biggest diamond buyers in the world has stopped using mind diamonds which is Pandora they are going to use lad grown, there's another gemstone that was found meteorite and that is Moldervite
If you want a 1 ct diamond, any quality, you need to mine 1 M stones to find one. If we talk top quality, proberbly 20 M/1. Pink and light blues are even more rare, especially bigger sizes. I call that pretty rare, don't you agree?
@@anna-lenameijer9942 that does not change the fact that Moissanite i rarer
@@anna-lenameijer9942 Yes pink diamonds are rare I have pink diamonds in my collection pink diamonds have been made rarer since the closure of the Argyle mine in Australia, but investing in them is not something not to be done, Argyle mine closure is been blown out of proportion this is because they don't as bigger effect on the market, as they claim pink diamonds come from other mines has to take into account new mines being discovered this has an effect on value
@@Me-br2vy 2 different gemstones. Moissanite only becomes fake diamond when somebody lies their moissanite is diamond
I've just started reading there book and it's amazing and want to put all of it to use as soon as possible,i@m happy for you that at a young age you are learning these's thing and am glad that ive found this and would also love to meet them.
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!...
Ahh, now i know, but i still cant figure out if my diamond is fake or real, I want to ask if you place the diamond in, and you look at it for closer bit you will see a rainbow
Wow thank you for showing these, I was thinking about buying a diamonds for no reason
Buying anything for no reasons is not usually a good idea 😉
@@Crmjewelers haha, i know but Im just buying just to add more collection of my gem/crystal and other 2 diamonds, Idk why i still buying more diamonds
If they make you happy Zack, it'd say go for it! 😉

Thanks for making the video, most helpful, thanks.
Best diamond test video seen thus far. Glad you dispelled the myth about hitting the diamond with a hammer. I always suspected that even diamonds can be damaged soing that. Now I know they can be damaged with a hammer.
Brilliant entertaining videos for Abraham's wisdom. Thank you for using your talents to create cool videos with such positive message.
You can only test if you have both fake and original diamond
Thanks! Very informative!
Very informative! Thank you.
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere???
Diamonds are"nt nearly as rare as we"ve been made to believe so they could artificially increase the price to much more than they"re actually worth
It’s a good thing I had gone to the bathroom before you hit that fake with the hammer... I’m pretty sure I would have had a major bladder malfunction! I’m glad I know more about how to spot fakes, but I hope you’re not disappointed in the fact that I’m not going to be setting my jewelry on fire anytime soon...
LOL, common. Where's your sense of adventure? 😜
@@Crmjewelers anywhere that doesn’t require me to set my jewelry on fire or smash it with a hammer.. lol
I didn't know the flame-test or the newspaper -test. Very good. The sirconia has a sharper brilliance which dies quicker; you need to clean it more often. But sirconia is still a natural mineral.
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!
the hammer part was shoking me !!! Great video and useful info . thanks
Thanks for watching man.
I was shocked by the hammer too, the CZ, probably looked like the small diamond. They could have avoided this scene, and just said diamonds can break. Much sensitive.
Then it wouldn't have been shocking 😜
@@luminouspsychics908 the owner can't risk by that beautiful diamond 💎 but at least we get a good info about it , and also footage makes you continues watching and enjoying the show
Wow, really great visuals. The moissanite was stunning too, but a diamond is a diamond!
You're right about that! Thank you for watching!
@@Crmjewelers i have diamond how to for sale?
Moissanite is a good gem is amost hard as diamond ,and can sracht diamonds , but moissanite have silic and diamonds have carbon
Diamonds can scratch moissanites, not the other way around.
Love diamonds 😍😍😍....but can’t buy it since the price are 😵😵😵😵
Remember,the more scratch resistant,the more likely to shatter. Infact,stitch like steel which are easy to scratch are hard to shatter
Hi
1000000
The woman sounds like she’s talking to an eight year old kid
Great stuff thanks 🙏
6:58 i was chilled then woke up by this
LOL, we get that a lot.
When I was maybe 12 years old, I found a ring and took the diamond out.
Crushed it with vise grip pliers.
Probably was a bad idea 🤣
Did anyone mention diamonds breaking when struck just so along the cleavage line?
Does the diamond tester pen always work when reading a diamond?
I think that is just to distinguish between zirconium and diamond
When you want testing your fake diamond but you need real diamond to test it
I love the ending lol she was like WTF 😂😂
Ha Ha, thanks for watching Lee.
Really I didn't know that fake diamonds can be damaged from the fire after you cool it down and put them in water and the real diamonds can't stay the same after you put them in fire and cool them off and a glass of water I never knew that wow 😲
How's Moissanite compared to diamond? Its less pricy, has the highest refractive index and near identical hardness
The hardness scale is not linear, so it does not compare to a diamond in hardness. It's higher than other gems, but not better than a diamond. Obviously it's a lot cheaper.
----@@Crmjewelers----- and mossanite is more brilliant--don't forget to add that!
They're different, but at the end of the day, I'd still go with a diamond, unless I didn't have the budget for it 🤷
@@Crmjewelers
The response of one who sells diamonds?
We sell lots of stuff and no, it's not because we sell them. They make less than 1% of our sales.
This test was great ...thanku so much 😊
Although not entirely conclusive, most of the time CZs have polished girdles whereas Diamonds either have faceted or frosted girdles.. that’s a pretty quick way to tell if you have magnification..
*Congrat for 300K SUBSCRIBERS!!*
Thank you! 🙇
I thought hitting a real diamond with hammer wont break it
It might survive a blow depending on the angle you hit it and the force exerted, but it'll eventually shatter if struck.
diamond is hard but not tough
FANTASTIC tests and result. Thank you very much. a branch of science to know, I was searching for the last five years.
Thank you for watching 👍👍
Totally enjoyed while learning! Thanks
Thank you for watching!

May I ask about the Glass density? I live in Korea, I heard it would be wide range like 2.3-4.5.. Is it right or not?
who’s waiting for the hammer lol

Bienvenido amigo 👍👍
I highly recommend to everyone to watch till the end.
In the conductivity test, fake diamond other than moisanite doesnt conduct, will it give a green light also indicating its a diamond?
Sand paper to used to test diamond or faked scratch the upper part by sand paper im goldsmith here in the philippines.

Thank you very much Sukanta. 👍🙇
i don't have, and probably will never have, enough money for a diamond, not even a fake one to take these tests, but still watched it to the end, great job lol

How can I estimate the price of a natural dark green emerald stone that weighs approximately 12,000 carats?
How about man-made diamond from lab, i saw this video on Producer Michael youtube, is it possible to detect it?
You'll need different testers to detect lab grown diamonds, which are typically much more expensive than the regular testing equipment.
As far as i know. Real diamonda have inclusions when viewed in a microscope. While lab ones are clear. That is the only difference. While spcificgravity . weight brilliance remain the same
Lab grown diamonds can have inclusions and blemishes too.
You should have done the hammer test with a real diamond...😉😉
Well ..then this would had been a paid video
I was surprised a diamond won’t burn easily as what I have been told forever.
Thank for your sharing video, very helpful and educated 😍😍🇲🇨🇲🇨♥️

How about moisanite reaction to flame test? Does it crack or resist damage after flame test?
