Hey all,

This is my first post, ive been lurking for awhile. Anyway I was out at my local park and found some clad and my first jewelry:headbang: Its stamped 925, not sure about the diamonds though.

What should I do with it collect them or have it tested?

I think you should keep it for sure. I've never sold or traded any of my finds. If you are into to this hobby to make money, find another hobby. To me, it's all about the thrill of the hunt! Nice find

Congrats on your first silver ring. The odds of it being a diamond are one in a million. They just don't put diamonds in silver jewelry. Doesn't matter, it's a nice find. I keep all mine. Not worth taking to a jeweler. If it's marked 925 it's usually silver.

Congrats on your first, very exciting. Take it to a jeweler, they will tell you and not charge you anything. Keeping or selling is your choice and your opinion. After all, you found it. Personally I have been holding on to all of my finds, one day I felt like selling some and after a few weeks of trying I found out that jewelry is very hard to sell for what I think it is worth. That is a very short version for a long story. I think I'll horde it until gold and silver prices triple (hope, lol) from what they are now.

The chances of it being a diamond in silver is rare. However it is possible. As everyone said a jeweler will know. Congrats

That appears to be a Silver, Ear or Belly Button post.
At least that is what I see, from the picture you posted.
Congrats on your first jewelry find.
In all probability, A silver ring doesn't get diamonds. If you want diamonds, you usually set them in Gold or Platinum.
