(update- back from jeweler, emerald is real) Hello all, just posted this in the beach forum, want to share with all hunters!! I still cant believe it either!! Mr. Gary Drayton would be proud of this one...lol. Was at the water line at the 7am low tide this mourn, the first hour was gloomy with nothing but bottle caps and a few clad. Three hours later found a low spot with a quarter, fish sinker and this 22k (916) Emerald beauty!!! First thing I did was look up the mark 916, no freakin way, broke out the acid to make sure, tested 22k all day!!!
I cant say the emerald is real yet, will have it looked at, but it sure looks good!!! Thx for looking and HH!!!!

Eric in NJ, was told its prob about 6cts, vintage, I am going to go see someone to find out more about the size of emerald, quality, age and where it was possibly made. Thx

There is a very high end jewelry store in my area that really specializes in emeralds. They have some amazing stuff on display. I will ask my wife the name of the place and PM it to you as they would be an excellent resource in anything to do with emeralds.

Any hallmarks inside the ring?
