Channel set stones. Looks to be the real thing. Have it checked! Lots of work just to set CZs.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's not real. I've seen custom rings made w/no markings and have also seen rings that were resized and the markings were cut out of the shank. Have it tested, most reputable jewelers will do at no charge or very minimal. HH

a suggestion, if you have a small local jewler in your area, take it in & ask him to check it. While your asking him , mention how you came about it. & brag a little how you find alot of rings, with your detector.? I did this & the jewler, gave me his card & asked me to bring all my ring finds in. I now have a jewler , that will , check & give me a verble appraisel, at no charge, at any time. .......... good luck ...;jeff

Great find! Is the gold band stamped inside with any lettering, etc.? If it's real gold I'm guessing they are diamonds. Let us know what you find out. Jim Cal

Knorrski,

Bobbie and I just picked up a diamond tester on Ebay for under $80.00, If you fiind that you are finding a lot of jewelry with stones in them you might want to pick one up. Its a pretty ring hope they are real

On a cluster ring like that hit it with a UV or black light. If you see some of the stones florescence blue it is a good sign. If you can see some inclusions under magnification (black spots or fractures) also a good sign, though not for value. If the points of the facets meet exactly it is also a good sign. Most CZ's do not have a good cut. Takes too much time. Where the facets meet they will be off on most CZ's. Just some at home hints from your friendly Gemologist.

I read this about the UV light and ordered a little Streamlight Stylus. It is a neet LITTLE UV light source 390um. For the heck of it I tried it on my mothers old ring (16 small *diamonds*) My question is why did only 4 of them flouress and the others did not? Did Pop get "duped" many years ago?? The flouressing was WAY cool though, the diamonds continued to glow even after the light source was removed.
