Kid With A Diamond Tester Is Revealing His Teacher’s Wedding Rings Are Fake

The wedding ring carries a lot of emotional weight in a relationship. A real diamond is very expensive, and how much you are supposed to spend on it for an engagement is hotly contested. While I might personally not want someone to drop a bunch of money on a stone when we could have a house or vacation or no student debt, it’s very normal for many couples to consider a quality diamond a part of the marriage pact.

But a kid on TikTok is blowing up the whole idea and ruining his teacher’s lives with a little gadget that can tell you if your diamond ring is fake.

His handle is @jexif but he calls himself the DiamondTesterKid. In the first part of a series of TikToks, he approaches a teacher and asks if she has a wedding ring. She says yes, and he asks her if she thinks it’s real.

“Yeah, of course!” she says cheerfully. He then pulls out his diamond gem tester, which has a needle that presses against the stone and beeps if it’s a real diamond. If it’s silent…that tells a different story.

When she realizes it’s fake the TikTok cuts out.

Jexif’s TikToks have been viewed millions of times and have made their way to Twitter, where @thismyburner8 shared several of the most heated ones. In several of them, his tester reveals that the teacher is NOT wearing a diamond and they seem to immediately call up their husbands and demand the truth.

It’s actually brutal to hear them going from proud and excited about their rings to realizing things aren’t quite what they should be in the relationship:

Apparently, one pawnshop owner says fake engagement rings people think are real are an incredibly common thing. Based on the sample size of just teachers at one school, that seems true:

The comments on Twitter have naturally devolved into an argument, as some men suggest that the response from the teachers and women watching show how materialistic they are. They’re not surprised that men are lying about buying a real diamond just to keep their girls happy:

But a few explained that it’s not having a fake diamond that’s upsetting, it’s finding out you’ve been lied to over what is supposed to be a symbol of love:

Everyone pretty much agrees that this kid is starting fires for no reason:

And they can’t look away from the blaze.
