<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9575484, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">But THESE are my pride and joys, I picked these out myself and it paid off.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The brooch was in a lot I was following but the seller took it down. I messaged her and I managed to buy the brooch for 8 euros on its own, which is what I wanted the lot for. I&#039;ve been snooping on catawiki at fine jewelry and I remembered the advice from this forum to look for a fine construction, but still sturdy, particularly on the back. This ticked all the boxes for me and lo and behold....tests as 9k!! I loved it anyway but its nice to see a hunch turn out correct.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">After the test I wondered about it being a diamond, but I believe there&#039;s a chip in it. I&#039;m second guessing myself now looking at the photos but if its there that means no diamond. I&#039;m rather cross because I asked specifically if it was damaged and she said it was &#039;impeccable&#039;. Not. But for 8e I suppose I have no right to complain.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]461028[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]461029[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]461030[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">And my piece de resistance, I bought a whole lot mainly for this necklace. It was love at first sight for my own use, and thought it was quality. I really hope its AD but its probably not. The chain tests very adamently for 14k. I assume its gold, silver, and copper for the moth/butterfly/dragonfly (still haven&#039;t decided what it is, I think moth?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), but the actual frame of the &#039;pendant&#039; isn&#039;t gold at all. It emphatically tests negative for any gold, and its full of greenies. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":depressed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">BUT LOOK AT HER</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]461033[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]461031[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]461032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]461034[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The other pieces <u>should</u> pay me back for what I spent on both lots + the brooch, so these items are pure profit. What a way to expand my gold stash! I&#039;ve only had one brooch and some 12k button thingys.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Very happy with my purchases..not such a good thing for my bank!</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
