We’re ready to put you (yes, reader, you) in the hot seat for this episode of Expensive Taste Test. While I know it’s always fun to watch the celebs try out different snacks or guess tap vs. bottled water, allow us to hit you with a remix. Today, you’ll be judging DIAMONDS, because it doesn’t really get fancier than that.

Diamond expert Nicole Wegman sat down with us to provide some 💎 connoisseur guidance through each pair of stones. There are some duos here with major price differences (like…a $50K difference), so these are some legit price points we’re handing you here. If you’re already a noted jewel pro, it’s time to put those skills to work. But if you’ve got room to learn more about the diamond game, congrats, because this episode basically doubles as a crash course in how to identify pricier diamonds. Play along to see if you pass the test!
