<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 28557, member: 106&quot;]I just have to say in his defense that he does run sort of an old-fashioned jewelry repair business and had already confirmed visually that they were diamonds.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My husband and I felt that he seemed generally unimpressed with the piece for some reason ... maybe because it doesn&#039;t show fine workmanship like he&#039;s used to seeing ... maybe he was having a bad day.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He only decided to crank up the hand-held rotary tool with a grinding wheel on it (not a big bench grinder) after I told him I got the piece for $10.00 at an estate sale.&nbsp; He has never <u>ever</u> attempted to grind any other diamond that I&#039;ve taken him (which in itself, is a rarity).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While he does get a bit excited when he&#039;s redesigning or rebuilding things for me ... He&#039;s pretty mechanical when it comes to testing the pieces. I have even asked him to charge me for testing, but he refuses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow ... I&#039;ve found a place that deals in antique jewelry close by ... after the annual autumnal gorging is over, I will swing by and give her a visit to see what she thinks about the piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
