[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 246381, member: 85"]DON"T More jewelry has been ruined by people who don't know what they are looking at and ruin it with testing. Look for a book by Warman's. Can't remember the exact title Jewelry through the ages/history of jewelry. It is a breakdown of styles by time period. Familiarize yourself with style and what was being used at the time. If you get the diamond tester and the stones come up as gemstones, more than likely the material used will be gold or silver.[/QUOTE]
