When you go to one of the jewelry stores in Bombay or Calcutta, make sure you know you are buying the right stuff. It has been said many times, that stores across the subcontinent rip customers off, and give them synthetic diamonds in the name of real ones.

What you need to carry with you is the DiamondNite Diamond Moissanite Tester. It can detect a synthetic diamond in just 1.5 seconds. You could leave the well oiled diamond merchants of the east fuming while you avoid being cheated. Of course, you could get cheated elsewhere too. So it is all the more a better idea to get this awesome diamond tester.

I would definitely carry this with me to those glitzy but questionable luxury stores spread across Indian and Middle Eastern cities where cheating is rampant. It is not just diamond testers but you would also need people testers in strange places like these. There is no information about either the price or availability.
