One of our experts will chime in by looking up the backmarks.

I enlarged the photo but could not read the markings on the back, could you take a zoomed in picture of the back?

 

[vince76]

I scanned it

Sterling!!! That's a great find!

I don't really believe they'd put an expensive gem stone on silver though - but if it were gold that would be a different thing.

Thanks for the better pictures!

Unfortunately deepseeker is correct. Diamonds are RARELY mounted in silver. It is still a nice find, congrats.

 

[Loco-Digger]

Nice find. You now have one less Christmas stocking stuffer to purchase..

Time for some to update their thinking. With gold as expensive as it is, silver IS being used for diamonds.

Great find whether it is or not!

WTG!

Yep,, it doesn't happen often but some jewelers are putting diamonds in metals other than platinum and gold. In all probability, your stone is a Zirconian. Very nice find. Last year, with some of the clad that I cashed in, , I purchased a diamond tester. Congrats on a nice find.

Agreed with above posts concerning "stone".
Not real IMO... But...
Sterling looks good though.

Congrats on the nice pendant!
Jewelers are not only putting diamonds in silver but are putting them into titanium and tungsten carbide. I just found this out talking to the folks at Ben Bridge. Not just lab created.....

Nice find, real or not

UNBELEIVABLE ......

Diamonds aren't actually rare, it's controlled puffed up market. Someday that silver would possibly be worth more than that possible diamond.

The funny thing is that all the gold rings, bracelets or other valuable objects, I have found not more than two meters from where I begin and after that nothing. It looks like something is guiding me!! [emoji1]
