Featured 14k Stick Pin (Stone Help)

No reaction to UV, but great thinking!

 

The 2 other types of inclusion common to emerald.

 

I like where this is heading!

 

Back lit, through the setting

 

I'm good with emerald. Really does not look like glass. Pretty little piece you got yourself.

 

Ditto.

 

I’m just not used to seeing an emerald:
1. Cabochon
2. With that much “junk” inside

probably too many modern enhanced/stabilized????

though I realize good facet cutting hides a lot, whereas a cab is what it is

 

Yay, I think emerald and old miner diamond.
So nice!

 

There are different qualities emerald, yours is very attractive but not top quality. It works on this pin though.

 

Difficult to see, but I keep seeing a round diamond.

 

Does this help at all?

 

Very similar to emerald

 

Thritto!

 

Above the “14k” is a hand etched “7-1739”

July, 1739?

I can dream! Lol

 

Great pics, but to be able to see if it is an old mine cut or an old European cut we need to see the outer shape of the stone straight from above. (If that makes sense.)

Uhmmm.... no.

 

a Mazarin cut, perhaps ......

 

Old school single cut, more like. Especially given the size. I'd say absolutely no question that the stone is an emerald. The ones were used to seeing now have been fiddled with or a Chatham synthetic emeralds. The really included ones were cabbed in the old days. Or carved.

 

maybe...but I see triangles on the sides under the table...

 

AHHH. If you plan to sell it you are going to have to get it tested!
