Step 1: Power Up
- Insert the battery
- Turn it on and let it warm up for a few seconds until the ready light is on.
Step 2: Set the Sensitivity
- Adjust the level based on the size of the stone (larger diamonds = lower sensitivity).
- Our tester have a guide — follow it based on carat size.
- Rule of thumb: set the level at 3-4 for 1ct diamond
Step 3: Clean the Stone
- Wipe the diamond gently with a cloth to remove oils or residue.
- A clean stone gives a more accurate reading.
Step 4: Hold Properly
- Hold the tester like a pen.
- Make sure your hand is touching the metal part (usually on the back or side) to ground the circuit.
Step 5: Test the Stone
- Gently place the tester tip perpendicular to the diamond's surface.
- Apply light pressure — don't jab it.
Bonus Tips:
- Always test one stone at a time.
- Don’t test mounted stones from the side — test from the top (table).
- Avoid metal settings — touching them may affect results.
