Hi Elizabeth do you like that tester better than the one we all have? Because I think sometimes when I’m testing and it’s in 3 lines what the heck is it?? I still have to guess lol

Hi! Great to see you! I like this tester much better than the one I had before and that most people have. Mine stays calibrated and can be moved from place to place without issue, where my original one was very fussy it's entire lifetime, and eventually got so bad I had to get a new one. I tried a new one of the same model and that one worked even worse than the first one so I decided to try this pen model. That said, if your tester stays calibrated, is easy to calibrate, and doesn't get screwed up every time you move it, I'd suggest sticking with the one you have until it doesn't work any more. You can still get multiple possible answers using this pen version. By using the color picker you can narrow down the answers, but you still need to have other information to be able to get to the specific answer you're looking for. You can figure out a lot by studying gemstone characteristics and using a loupe and I'm just a beginner at that. It can help tremendously to be able to get the refractive index of the stone in order to say exactly what stone it is. I'm not too good at using the refractometer to determine the refractive index yet. There are other tests you can do for certain stones to supplement the gem tester. Again, I'm learning these slowly. I hope this makes sense. I can put together a playlist of some videos that would be helpful if you want to know more. It's no trouble.

ok im 6minutes in and had to ring in. judging by the only comment here at this time im glad i did. these tools determine the "heat inertia" of a stone and its crucial to follow the correct procedure to get accurate results. ive watched about a dozen review vids and exactly zero were done correctly. first, if there is a color range setting the color must be set before the test is done. uniform and appropriate temp and humidity are also crucial. dont jam the probe against the stone so hard your hand quivers, just firmly press as if using a ball point pen to write a period on plain paper or stylus on a phone keypad and hold steady until a beep or other indicator is given. the tool will indicate the types of stone within the heat inertia range detected factoring in the "resistance" caused by the range of possible causes of the selected color range ie: stone color. the term "range" means just that. like hardness, heat inertia varies slightly within each type and color of stone. a clear "colorless" sapphire for instance can have a slightly different heat inertia than a deeply saturated colored sapphire and that range can coincide with the upper or lower end of similarly colored diamonds, for example. there is a bit of "kentucky windage" regarding the effect of certain colors in certain stones as trace elements, inclusions and "defects" or vacancies in molecular positioning of certain ions all can affect the color of stones. used correctly these tools are essentially infallible. used improperly they are confusing at best. being made in china for the most part dosent help. no or illegible gibberish instructions are the rule rather than the exception. understanding basic heat inertia theory is key. think of it as the speed at which heat is conducted from molecule to molecule in a given stone. now go spend an hour reading into the subject and you will be as "expert"as the layperson can be at using these extremely accurate tools. G.I.A. has the definitive reporting on both the detectors and heat inertia in gemstones itself. now go get those goodwill gem jars and make that definitive youtube content we so desperately need! Besos.

I have a medically diagnosed tremor. My hands shake when doing many activities, which is what you're seeing happen in the video. I'm following Presidium's PGI handbook and their how-to videos with regard to the amount of pressure to use and when in the testing process to use the color picker, but I'd love to see your demonstration of the PGI when you do one since it sounds like you are quite informed in it's proper use. I'm always learning! I hope you have a fabulous week!

I have found the occasional older piece that was marked gold, but when tested was clearly a wash or gold plated - so it happens, just like we get pieces marked 925 that are non-responsive to the acid test and don't have any silver, not even plated.

I always love seeing your hauls, you pick up great items! Love that Murano watch. The heart and arrow necklace is Icing brand, believe it’s like a mall store. Oh my gosh that necklace at 7:07 I believe is by the designer Patrice, her jewelry is normally not signed and she used very high quality findings like Czech glass and mostly vintage parts. I have sold her earrings before but never found any necklaces, that’s an amazing piece!

Hi Hannah! Thanks! I think you're correct. I found it on a Google Lens search; there is one like it on eBay. I checked her site and it sure looks like one of hers ❤️ I made a quick video on the necklace that will be posted tomorrow. I'll be looking out for her pieces while I source going forward. Happy Sunday!

Hi Elizabeth- that sounds like such a fun time at the fair, looks like you got some amazing pieces!! Can’t wait to see what you do with the beads. I love that brooch, reminds me of the Schreiner millefiori ones. The translucent white beads look very much like onyx to me tho I’m not sure. I saw clown faces too in those beads 😂 Those are really great! I honestly can’t tell from looking at them if they are wood or plastic or something . Love the light blue Czech glass! The pressed glass all look yummy like gummy candy 😋 I agree about the lovely speckled being Japanese, love! Yes your orange millefiori beads are Japanese, called Tombo or tonbo meaning dragonfly as the dots look like their eyes. Anything I find with those types of beads sell very quick for me. These were all really nice, thanks for sharing 😊
