After the 4 hour hunt w/Craig etal. I found My diamond tester had arrived today and checked out all the stud earings etc. I had for anything real!!

Sadly there isn't one real stone in the bunch!!



The few "diamond" rings I have recovered since '08 have real stones!! (Small, but real!!)

GL&HH Friends and may your diamonds be more "real" than mine!!

I need to get a diamond tester, hopefully some wil be real....HHN/T

I got a few of those too CJ...That's why I always refer to them as stones,and never get overly excited when I first find them.....and besides that CJ,If I were the person who lost a diamond like the ones in those studs...It would be worth the price of a MD to find it.....A few of my notable CZ's,...some in 10k&14k...GL

I have found big diamonds and small diamonds. I seem not to get excited over them as much as the gold. I have yet to get a good price for any of my diamonds. I did get a grand for a perfect half karat one year and 2500.00 for the diamonds in the ring in my avatar but thats about it. The ring in my avatar was worth between 12 and 14 grand. 2500.00 was peanuts.

This is why my jeweler friend says "stones are expensive when you need them"....and then the price escalates at retail

A jeweler Friend assured me that the diamond market is a thing of the past and that unless you have a large one of a kind stone you are SOL when you try to get a decent price.:shrug:

Even then you have to find the right buyer.

The few real stones I could just toss in with the glass and give them to my Grands to play with!!:thumbdown:
