Description
I recently purchased this at an estate sale and I an trying to find out if it is real or costume. It needs a good cleaning but I wanted to photograph it in the state I purchased it and depending on what it is will I am sure effect the appropriate cleaning solution to use. I did the fog test and the stones to not fog up when you breath on them. The backing does not stick to a magnet but I am not sure if that means anything,
It is a link bracelet in that it can unlink into separate pieces.
Thank you.

Re: Diamond Bracelet or?
It might be silver, but I don’t think those are diamonds. A simple way to test if it a real diamond is to try to cut glass. Only a real diamond will cut glass.
Re: Diamond Bracelet or?
Thank you so much for your reply - I will try that. I think you are right though - I don't think they are diamonds. Darn lol. Have a great night.
Re: Diamond Bracelet or?
I would NEVER try to cut glass with a diamond. Even diamonds can fracture. Many other ways to tell. I would honestly purchase a $5.00 loupe and see if there are inclusions. CZ will be too perfect, diamonds will have inclusions or some sort somewhere. I hope this helps.

Re: Diamond Bracelet or?
P.S. diamonds dispurse heat quickly...even more if they are dirty...hence no fogging. It is possible yet they could be real. I would purchase a loupe.
Re: Diamond Bracelet or?
Anything that silver will have a mark on it somewhere to indicate the silver content, as for the stones, well I suggest just taking the piece to a Jeweller, they can tell you pretty quick if the stones are diamonds or notor steer you to someone who can.
