<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 416923, member: 157"]A good way to discern if an item set in jewelry is stone or glass is to look at the facet edges where they meet. a stone will have sharp facets where glass will have a dull looking edge. Both bracelets look to me as if they have dull facet edges, so I am guessing glass. If you look at the close up of your 2 amethyst , the picture of the diamond shaped one shows sharp facets, whereas the filigree bracelet pic with the stones going left to right, the top left stone looks to have dull facet edges.</p><p>Clear as mud I know!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW. Stone or glass.......I like them all! Good Job![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
