How do I know real diamonds from fake?
So I work at a thrift store/flea market that doesn’t accept donations but we go and clear out spots so we find genuine jewelry a lot of times. I’m new to this stuff since I just got hired a week ago, but other than diamond testers, I can only name gemstones by color and look.
I cannot tell apart CZ and real diamonds so I kinda need advice since I already have a diamond tester but it’s breaking on me since it’s like a couple years old.
If anyone has any advice on how to find out real diamonds of any size and color or certain gemstones without a tester. While I’m at it, if anyone has tips on finding real gold in rings, chains etc.
