Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond

Could my diamond tweeters be coated with zircons and not real diamonds. I paid a lot of extra money for those diamonds.

This is not a problem as we are not buying jewels, but buying the physical properties of diamond. The idea of using synthetic diamond is to use an extremely stiff material so that the resonance/breakup frequency is raised up higher than human hearing. I believe the breakup frequency of diamond is around 70khz. I think beryllium could be around 40-45khz. With metal dome tweeters, the breakup is very low, sometimes as low as 22khz. This is why metal dome can sound harsh/bright.
