Pro Tips
- Hold the probe at a 90-degree angle to the gemstone surface for accurate results
- Touch the metal panel with your right index finger when testing diamonds — do not do this when testing other gemstones
- Calibrate on a piece of glass (adjust to LED 5) before testing non-diamond gemstones
- Allow the probe to warm up fully before the first test of each session
- Never test metal surfaces — only gemstone surfaces
- Remove gloves before testing to ensure proper thermal conductivity
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How accurate is this diamond tester?
A: The thermal conductivity method is highly accurate for distinguishing diamonds from most simulants. Note that moissanite has similar thermal properties to diamond and may read as diamond on this tester.
Q: Can it detect moissanite?
A: Thermal conductivity testers cannot reliably distinguish moissanite from diamond. For moissanite detection, combine with visual inspection or use an electrical conductivity tester.
Q: Does it work on mounted diamonds?
A: Yes. You can test diamonds while set in rings, pendants or other jewelry. Ensure the probe touches only the stone surface, not the metal setting.
Q: What battery does it use?
A: One 9V DC006P battery (standard 9V). Battery is not included and is available at any electronics or hardware store.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: With moderate use of 10-20 tests per day, a standard 9V battery typically lasts 2-3 months.
Q: Can beginners use this tester?
A: Yes. The LED bar and audio alert provide clear, easy-to-read results. The included user manual covers step-by-step operation.
