Is My Diamond Real?

Whether it’s a treasured heirloom, a recent gift, or something you’ve found tucked away in a drawer, there’s one question we hear often:
"Is my diamond real?"

With the rise of lab-grown stones and highly convincing simulants, it’s a very fair question, and we now have the perfect way to help you find out. We’re proud to offer in-store diamond testing using the industry-leading GIA iD100. In just minutes, it can determine whether your diamond is natural, lab-grown, or a synthetic lookalike.

 

Why Would I Need My Diamond Tested?

There are plenty of reasons:

  • You’ve inherited a piece and aren’t sure of its authenticity.
  • You’re thinking of selling or upgrading and want to know what you have.
  • You’re simply curious!

 

How Does It Work?

It’s pretty straightforward:

  • Bring your diamond to our showroom (either loose or in a piece of jewellery).
  • Our team uses the GIA iD100, a state-of-the-art spectroscopic tester, to scan your stone.
  • Within seconds, the machine reads whether your diamond is natural, lab-grown, or needs further testing.
  • We’ll walk you through the results and provide a printed report for your records.

The whole process takes about 20 minutes, and no appointment is needed.

 

How Much Does It Cost?

There’s a one-off fee of $70, which covers the full diamond authenticity test using our advanced ID100 machine. This fee also includes a detailed take home report outlining the results, confirming whether your diamond is natural, lab grown or a simulant.

 

Do I Need an Appointment?

No need to make an appointment. You are welcome to visit our store at 241 Margaret Street, Toowoomba at a time that suits you. Our friendly team will be there to guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
