Am I reading this wrong? Diamond tester...

[Beachkid23]

So I got this diamond tester off eBay probably not the best but it seemed to give me an idea for something real. The pile above it was a bag full of stones that were in a box of jewelry that I bought. I figured they were all rhinestones and doesn't ring out but I would check them before I stuck them online. So I'm the smaller ones I got no reading but on the larger ones he reads up a little bit past the diamond mark. I will try to take pictures to show you what I'm talking about.



So here's the tester with the pile of stones.



And then the pile of stones next to a quarter. Each of them if real were probably 2 ct? Anyways when I Check the smaller I get nothing,(Kind of like my wife's wedding ring) jk.. Hehe.

But when I checked the larger ones here's my reading.



So if it's up in the diamond range I suppose it could just be man-made diamond to make it ring that? Any thoughts would be great. I'm going to try to run by a jeweler this week anyways to have a double checked. Thanks.

Do you have a real diamond to check it against? When I had a stone tested in the store, she took the diamond from my hand and showed me the light. then she tested the stone, and showed me it wasn't a diamond.

You want a diamond testor than can tell the difference between a real diamond and moissanite, a cheap one cant.... Also none I know of can tell the difference between a natural diamond and a man made diamond

Quality fake diamonds can fool these machines. Since your not getting a full reading. I'd suggest they are those types of diamonds. That can fool these machines. If not, that's a come up !

Keep @ it and HH !!
