But, you're talking about gold. Kinda like apples and oranges.

One of the easiest "field tests" is, look at how the stones are mounted. Diamonds will always have retaining posts to hold them in place.
Glass is usually glued in, as are CZ's. And, even this "eyeball" test shouldn't be taken as conclusive as CZ's are often held in by posts. Also, real diamonds are seldom used in silver jewelery, but it does happen. Of course, there's "white gold", but, white gold, like yellow gold, does not tarnish, unlike silver.

BUT, it can give you an indication as to whether you should go to the bother of having a professional check it out.

Anyway, I've said a lot just to say, if the "diamonds" aren't clamped in with posts, they're probably not diamonds. :laughing9:
