Quickly and confidently identify diamonds and common diamond simulants with the GTE Electronic Diamond Tester. This compact handheld analyzer is designed for fast, accurate testing using thermal conductivity technology to help determine whether a stone is likely a genuine diamond.
Ideal for jewelers, collectors, pawn shops, estate buyers, and gemstone enthusiasts, this tester provides quick verification when evaluating diamonds and other gemstones.
Diamonds conduct heat differently than most imitation stones. This tester measures how quickly heat moves through the stone to help distinguish genuine diamonds from common simulants such as cubic zirconia.
This tester can help analyze:
• Diamonds
• Moissanite
• Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
• Rubies
• Sapphires
• Zircon
• Rhinestones
• Lab-created stones
• Other gemstone simulants
• LCD display with LED indicator lights for easy reading
• Fast and reliable gemstone testing
• Compact portable handheld design
• Simple probe tip testing method
• Ideal for use in jewelry stores, pawn shops, estate sales, or private collections
• GTE Portable Electronic Diamond Tester
• Diamond Weight Estimator & Gauge – helps estimate carat weight for loose or mounted stones
• Protective leather carrying case
• 9V battery (included)
The tester measures thermal conductivity, which differs between diamonds and most simulant stones. By placing the probe tip directly on the gemstone, the tester analyzes heat transfer and provides an indicator reading to help determine authenticity.
The compact design makes this tester easy to carry in a pocket, purse, or tool kit, making it perfect for jewelers, collectors, estate buyers, and pawn shops.
A must-have tool for anyone buying, selling, or evaluating diamonds and gemstones.
