Can you please make a video about buying diamonds. Where to buy them, how much is good price, not get scammed, negotiating and etc......

Diamonds don’t maintain their value, and the entire industry is a whole scam considering de beers artificially inflates the value of the diamond. The colors letters and cuts are all mainly invisible to the naked eye. You should purchase a stone that you love and that makes you feel happy. The perceived value of it is just perceived. Whether the stone is a diamond or not is up to you :) hopefully that helps.

Geese Beemps it is best to educate oneself before buying a diamond. The colour of a stone is definitely noticeable with the naked eye; just compare a D colour to an I or J colour; you will see the difference. The best colour is no colour. No one wants an inferior diamond; they want the best quality for what they can afford.

L S It might not have been clear, but considering the scale goes from no color to Z (literally yellow,) i thought it was safe to assume my comment referenced the visible difference between two letters that are next to each other. For example: D vs E, or I vs J. Any of them compared to a single letter above or below is essentially undetectable for a naked eye. Obviously, you wouldn’t compare a D with a N or something. But again, I was referencing the fact that paying more for a letter up because it’s “less yellow” is very scammy since most people wouldn’t even know unless they were explicitly told what letter it was.

Geese Beemps yes, I see your point, and I agree.
Hope you can create a video like this that can be done for mounted diamonds. More of us will want to test our rings rather than loose diamonds xx
Really interesting..As a child aged about 6 I found what I thought was a diamond ring... Dad took it too the police station and they said it was a fake... they tried to scratch glass with it. I remember the disappointment... Plus the coppers said if it were a real diamond of that size, it wouldn't be in a silver mount. True enough.
Good to see you back in the videos Tommy! If you guys ever want an apprentice I'm only in Kent and I have a degree in silversmithing, goldsmithing and jewellery design. I interviewed in Hatton Garden last week but they cast everything and fob it off as genuine handmade, I can't work like that because I want to learn the proper goldsmithing skills and actually hand make real top quality work
Don't hurt me...here's my wallet
Tfs! Truly appreciate your videos. They are very helpful. I have a question about an issue ive been having and was wondering if you had any advice? So, i recently made a diamond four prong solitaire ring and have been having trouble with the prongs catching on everything and i am afraid i will lose the stone if i wear it. So its put away for now. I made a 22k gold alloy and platinum twist makume gane type of band and a platinum four prong setting. I have cut, polished, and burnished them down as close as i can. And feel if i go any further i will end up not having enough metal to actually hold on barely over the gurtle. (Sorry if my spelling is incorrect.lol)
This episode rocked!

Since diamonds are hydrophobic which means they repel water and are attracted to grease I would try some Vaseline first on a wet stone.

Jonathon Calleija, moissanite has a hardness of 9.25 so please tell me what kind of sandpaper are you using to scratch it? Certainly nothing average people would have. I know about the double refractive nature of moissanite but the average person would not have access to this type of equipment.

Hey! My science teacher had us watch this video and record the data for an assignment. This was a really cool video guys
Does the heat and water test do ANY damage to the real diamond?

Just finished picking through about 10 quarts of river gravels and there were loads of stones. Pink, yellow, red, green, orange, purple, white, all varrying shape and size. I know in my state we have every type of gemstone, excluding Ruby, but not every color. Would the tests work on uncut diamonds? What is a good broad spectrum gem tester?
How do y’all suggest I check the diamond at the pawnshop

The Floating test only works with certain dense fluids and is highly dependant on which diamond imitation it is. In general all those tests only work to identify Glass, rock crystal, CZ, YAG, Fabulite and similar imitations. Moissanite can't be identified with most of the tests. Very informative nevertheless.

This was a pretty cool way to test. Great job guys
That I have to admit it is incredible way to determine between a real and a fake diamond I never knew about the glass of water test. Thank you for the informative information.
Great video guys!!! Cant wait to see you at the Goldsmiths Fair !!!
A friend has a tiny but lively vintage diamond...it flashes beautifully if the light catches it right. One like that I'd love..It has character and is subtle.
That was cool never seen that last test, cool effect too
"It's gone misty, it's finished."🤣
That's terrific guys - well done. Thank you
I've taken a diamond ring to some jewelry stores before, a couple of them said that it was real and some said that it was fake. How come ???

Do you want to work at a jeweler's bench making things every day? Do you want work on the sales floor? Would you prefer to just design? Which ever one you prefer, there's a different set of schooling and career paths.

Great information 🥳
Wow the sandpaper test was super satisfying for some reason
I don't really know about jewelry but this video was very interesting! I have a question, does this test applies to any other kind of "diamond" (I'm sorry, English is not my first language, I don't know the word) Like if I do the same to an emerald I should expect the same?
I love the look of genuine surprise when they both sank in water. Even if the stone was made of glass it would sink, fellas. Hahaha!!

He was a happy boxing promoter until a few weeks ago… then again, what does he know about diamonds..? don’t they come from Antwerp
Found a random "diamond" sitting in the crawlspace of the house I just bought. Looked really similar to my mom's real diamond ring, and it passed most tests I tried, but after it failed the newspaper test I decided to take a lighter to it (dropping it in the water made the same cool sound that it does in the video). Sure enough it was completely shattered. I crushed it just for good measure.
Thank you for letting me know about the same paper.

My guess is that in the newspaper test it all depends on the reflectivity of the 'diamond' and the shape of the precious stone. It will not work on a decently cut moissanite or zirconia.

nice for ur information
I have a real diamond earrings comparison and its still confusing. I did the UV test, all the little squares making 1 large princess cut reveals a few stones having a glow sediments that holds a charge after the light is removed while other stones in the same set don't yet all are real. Best take what you to to pawn as they test, they don't need to know you don't intend to but wanted a quote for if you do : )
Helpful
excellent stuff cheers chaps
What about lab created diamonds? would they break for the last two? I know they are almost the same thing like natural diamonds but I was just wondering
Hope you had a lovely holiday Bobby..?
