Diamond testers

[siggy]

Iam interested in purchasing a diamond tester and would appreciate any feed back you can give me. I don't want the cheapest or the most expensive. I would be happy with something in the middle. What would a fair price be and where would the best outlet be to purchase.

Thank you!
Siggy

Jeweler's supply sells diamond testers. That is where I bought mine. Look in yellow pages.

This is the one I got and I've been real happy with it. For one thing, it's VERY fast and easy to use. The other big thing is that it tests for moissanite, a new fake diamond...like a CZ with an attitude...that fools most cheaper testers and even some jewelers. Moissanite testers cost more but I would rather know it's "definitely a diamond" and not "It's a diamond. OR it could be a good FAKE...it's ONE of those!"

It's well made, compact, and powered by a single 9-volt. You can find them on eBay for as little as $149...look for a good price from somebody with good feedback.
