Title: diamond tester Post by: zorro on July 09, 2009, 07:25:25 PM found a nice gold diamond ring yesterday with 3 diamonds in. sadly it broke in pieces at home after i nearly dropped it and grabbed it a little too tight. anyway i was wondering how to test the quality of the diamonds. ive heard of a diamond tester but never seen one, also others use a looking glass on the diamonds...what do you look for through the glass as signs of a good/bad diamond? ???
