how can i tell if a gold and diamond ring is real without going to the jewelers?

Okay, should’ve read it before I posted. The first bit is most helpful though.

Lol it says cleavage :L Yes I’m immature! No I don’t care! Good luck :)

for the diamond part brethe on it like u know when u brethe on glass when its cold and it gets all foggy ya but anyway if it fogs up its fake if it doesnt its real :) hope that helps :))

well my dad is an ex jeweler…actually an ex diamond dealer…so this is advice is straight from what he used to tell me… Now a days, you really cant tell unless you know how to use a loop, that small thing jewelers use to chk the stones with. Today they have found a way to make even fake diamonds look real…and I am not talking about cubic zirconia either! Cubic Zirconia is synthetic, made of crystal which is makes it shine like a real diamond & very hard to distinguish btw a real or a fake diamond. The only real way to test beyond a shadow of a doubt would be to take a piece of glass and try to go diagonally see what happens using the diamond on the ring. If it cuts it then its a real diamond. If it doesnt…then its not! Besides…when purchasing a diamond of any kind, make sure you hv some document of it being authentic. Do your hw go to someone you an trust…someone that has been in the business through mutual friends or relatives & most of all make sure there is a guarantee if something should happen!

good luck on finding out…hope this info was helpful.

Oooooh I forgot about that diamond bit. Good answer! :)

Awe, thank you that was so sweet of you to say….

learned a lot about diamonds from him…actually wanted to go to school for it to become one too but I would hv no connections today…and getting my feet wet would be a b!tch bcz if you dont hv connections in the business then you will nev make it. Every deal is based on word of mouth…and if they dont know you then it would take a lot of convincing for someone to trust you enough to do business with you. So…I decided to take law instead…what a huge mistake! :(

hahaah cleavage :P tyy

Aww! Well I’m sorry for you, I can tell you’re really into diamonds and it’s really cooooool. Follow your dreamss! Maybe try and get into it on the side, I hate to see passion go to waste :(

no problem :)

The way you can tell is to get a compact mirror, any cheap one from the dollar store or so, and scratch the diamond against the mirror and if it leaves a nice scratch, its real diamond.

Fool proof diamond test:

Find a piece of glass, get the “diamond” and scratch the glass (preferably a car window or something strong)

If the glass scratches, it’s real

A car window? Promoting vandalism are weeee?? :S ahaha

no…like the corner of your car window

haha

hahahaha not my car window ill do it to my neighbors car cuz hes an *sshole ;)

remember - it’s not crime if you don’t get caught!

LOL, ur so sweet… There is a lot of passion in me that has gone to waste…no use crying over spilled milk, just gtta wipe it up & move on! Story of my life…add another wasted talent to the list. :P

Noooo :( I hate it ‘cause the same thing’s happened to me about so many things and now I’m too lazy to do things ‘cause deep down I think, what’s the point, I’ll give it up soon anyway :( it’s a horrible feeling ;(

i know…i agree…sad but true…:(

isn’t life like that in general haha
