O.K. so I''ve been lurking for awhile and gathering all kinds of great info!
I have a wedding band that I''m currently upgrading. It was custom made 9 years ago and DH said I could have my solitare and all the stones replaced. I have 12 blue sapphires and a row of 5 white sapphires + 1 small diamond (we thought this was a white sapphire too until we had the ring appraised and find out one of the white s. was really a diamond.
So I took my ring to the jewelry store last week who actually custom made my ring 9 yrs ago. for a quote on what it would be for labor costs on replacing the stones. I talked the guy at the store and he was talking to me about my white s. and that if I was going to replace the stones I should upgrade them to diamonds. I agree. I said I would only need the 5 since the other was a diamond. The guy said that the little diamond was really a Moissanite. And I said I had the diamond tested (and I mean with the diamond "thingy" that they hold over the diamond and the light turned green) Sorry, for not being more knowledgable there. But also my appraisal says there is one small diamond. And I have the cut, color, etc. on the paperwork. His response, "well, they must have lied to you." I''m like what did you say???? He''s says, "well it doesn''t really matter anyways." I''m like, "yeah, it does"
Would a diamond test like Moissanite or vice versa?
Thank you for any help
