<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 2678473, member: 1067"]Picked these up years ago from somewhere I can’t recall, way before I got a loupe or a diamond tester. Today I had a closer look and found a NG mark on one of them. I had assumed they were a pot metal looking at the back but they are non magnetic and I’m now thinking maybe sterling. Tested the ‘emeralds’ which are glass but some of the weeny diamonds tested as diamonds!!! I was very surprised. I don’t know how or when this was made and how they have stuck the diamonds in so I’m hoping someone can give a date for these and suggest what sort of earring fixing they originally might have had. They are an inch long. Thanks for any help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]273581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
