[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9503469, member: 2844"]Am with the others, cute costume. As kyra said, it is the glue that fluoresces. You can see blotches of glue light up very nicely around the 'stones'. Since many clear stones as well as other materials fluoresce, fluorescence is not the go-to test for diamonds. One clue: Diamonds are never glued on jewellery, they are set in different ways, but without glue.[/QUOTE]
