I have never heard of that, do not know really about it. Are you taking the things to the same place each time?

Why do you keep getting your diamonds tested for being diamonds?

Welcome Bess, thank you for turning off the caps lock.

As far as I am aware, a diamond tester cannot hurt a diamond, as it is the Holidays I don''t know if many of the experts will be here to help you, maybe it is dirt on the actual diamond and the tester is leaving a mark in that - grease etc? Give them a good clean with an ammonia solution and see if that helps if you get them tested again...

Every time I have taken my diamonds in for cleaning or remodeling into a different setting, they always have me loupe them first, and then again before pick up. It sounds like you enjoy possibly scoping out treasures at estate sales or online and then going and getting them appraised? If so, share your stories! And get them louped before and after and ask questions before you leave your jeweler/appraiser!

Why you are seeing debris on them afterwards, I don''t know. Does it come off?
