[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 4502829, member: 17467"]Hi, I have few pendants I like very much and would like to ask for your opinion. 1. The first one looks like Ruby, is quite big, when looked at with a UV light, it glows yellow / orange. Is it possible that is a real Ruby, or is there another stone that glows like that? 2. Is a locket / pendant, fascinating colour display, the metal is probably pinchbeck. It is faceted, and the way it catches the light I can’t even explain. I have seen Quartz, but this look different. 3. This is a pendant I bought as French jet, but when there is light coming from the other side, it lights dark red, maroon like. I appreciate your take on these. Thank you.
