    I apologize ahead of time, and I realllllly hate doing this, especially here, but I have very few choices. I go though a lot of jewelry every week, and while I do know silver, and a bit about gold....I do not know diamonds. But for some reason this earring, yes a single earring, seems different.

    I know it is impossible to tell by looking at a picture, and sometimes hard in person, but is there anything about this earring that speaks to anyone else? I found it in a box of junk jewelry, like it had accidentally fallen in. The stones shimmer, and totally bling. Like a real white color, like a soft color. I have a lot of trouble trusting any gold or diamond place around here, and I know people here know their jewels so.....sorry.....

      Sorry BH, no idea. Is the metal silver or gold?
    3. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      don't know amber....too tiny to see any marks. Just a very deep glimmer to the stones. I understand that diamonds do not fog. Like, if you breathe on them? Is that true?

      I would get it to a jeweler and have them do the diamond check. My personal opinion is that the spacing and look of the setting is more fit for rhinestones than diamonds.

      Great, thanks dr. I knew you all would help!!! Thanks!

      BH, these are not real. Sorry to say. I can tell the way it's made and the prongs are too big. But very nice and classic. Xoxoxo

      Hi there is nothing to be sorry for I have found everyone on this site to be fantastic as they are all willing to help were they can. I also noticed that someone has already answered your question for you, best of luck

      Hi! Moonstone, thanks so much, please do not be sorry. I love to learn, even when I miss :) Moonstone I am glad you are honest because I trust your opinion, as well as many others on CW, much more than the stranger at the "we buy gold" store. Zowie, thanks for reassuring me :) I totally agree there are so many intelligent and kind people on this forum. People with experience in their own areas, people who just like to help. That is why I keep posting here.....it is just fun. Thanks everyone for the help!!!!!

      Why you don't buy a diamond detector. I have good help of this apparatus and costs only a few. Nice jewel!
    11. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      hmmmm....what brand/model do you have?
    12. Stillwater Stillwater, 11 years ago
      Nope... Sorry
    13. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      lol, thanks stillwater.

      BHock i post here for the same reason Ive just got to learn how to get it Wright when posting. & Lee thanks for the complement I can be kind but if rubed the wrong way there is another side to me that I don't like but I don't see why I have to take other peoples crap. I'll only take so much of it. I also call a spade a spade & a lot of people cannot handle it. As they say the truth hurts. Sorry BHock answering here it's just that the message came through here. I wonder why they don't have a forum on your own page were you can answer or ask questions without having to wait for something on there site to come up. Be happy & lucky with your finds.

      The brand of my diamond tester is: Diamond selector II - Culti®
    16. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      agram, thank you so much for the suggestion. I was able to find one for cheap on the web, and it is on the way. Any suggestions on how to use it properly?
    17. Zowie Zowie, 11 years ago
      Where do you buy a Diamond tester
    18. Moonstonelover21 Moonstonelover21, 11 years ago
      I bought mine on Ebay...THE PRESTIGE SERIES II MIZAR is the GIA RECCOMENDED tester...

    19. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      Wow...moonstone, that sounds like the name of a famous magician. I got mine on ebay, but it was clearly not like the one Lee has. I just want to get an idea of how they operate first.
    20. Moonstonelover21 Moonstonelover21, 11 years ago
      If you get savy with how it works...with the one I recommended ...you can even test other gemstones...like Sapphires ect
    21. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
      How does it actually work lee? infra red? sound wave? I have no idea.
    22. Moonstonelover21 Moonstonelover21, 11 years ago
      BH, never looked...I even have a higher tech tester and paid $300 for ..and its a mizar too...never use it though...
    23. BHock45 BHock45, 11 years ago
