Diamond Bracelet or?

By npsunshine, 10 August, 2013
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
