<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 112492, member: 36"]I got 20K or so with a plastic stone in it once. The seller thought it was junk for just that reason and threw it in a scrap bag. I was going to toss it myself but saw funny marks on the bail. Most of the time the stones in sterling are semi-precious, but you never know. This also doesn't apply to antique pieces. Georgian jewelers used sterling with diamonds a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
