exoticisabella Cut Rock Total Posts: 189 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/21/2009	So here's what I know about it... 12 .12 carat diamonds and 2 .15 carat diamonds for a total of about 1 3/4 carats They are very sparkly (I'm just a bad picture taker!) Guessing to be VS clarity - we couldn't see ANYTHING under the microscope set in Platinum however the shank has been replaced at some point so there are no markings Origianlly had those funny knob things on it to make it fit better I posted this elsewhere - but it it normal for a diamond to be sparkly on both the topside and underside? When I turn it upsidedown it still shoots rainbows Estimated H or better in color Found it at a pawn shop for $400 Thanks for the help!

westjenn Cut Rock Total Posts: 371 Last Post: 11/14/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2006	I am no expert but I'd say that its from the 1940's-1950's...? I think it is common for diamonds to shine bottom & top. I think that if you take it to a reputable jeweler they can test the stones & metal for you. Its pretty! Sounds like you got a good deal too!

exoticisabella Cut Rock Total Posts: 189 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/21/2009	Thanks :). I got if from my favorite pawn shop. The center stone for my E-ring is either a transitional stone or an OEC (haven't figured out the diff. yet), just under a half carat, BEAUTIFUL cut, strong fluorescence which I think helps it face up like an H/I, and SI1 (need a microscope to see anything - so I think SI ??) for $200. My hubby hates that I have to stop at every pawn shop I see to go hunting for treasures

My hubby hates that I have to stop at every pawn shop I see to go hunting for treasures i have been hunting pawnshops since i was 12 years old!Ive found some of my favorite pieces in pawn shops. my favorites that i could never sell or trade includes an 18 karat tri-color trinity ring (14 grams)for $49.00, a 14karat wheat chain(16 grams)for$80,a Gem-East natural nugget and .34point diamond ring((diamond is vs1-g)11grms for $200(the store i worked at the time displayed the same ring for$2400 in 1999)and a Hopi bracelet from the American Hopi council for $20(today these bracelets are being collected for about $400-700)and i saved it from being sold as scrap silver!

exoticisabella Cut Rock Total Posts: 189 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/21/2009	Hey, I guess I'm not from the pacific NW anymore. Wow do old habits die hard! I used to live in northern idaho - panhandle - which is the edge of the pacific NW and I've been in southern Idaho for a couple years now. I can't wait for the day when I can head back north. Anyway, in northern Idaho I love the Pawn 1's and in southern Idaho Vista pawn was pretty fun...but, they've started sending their diamond stuff out for "appraisals" and we all know how that can turn out . Most things are priced just under the "apprisal" value - which is rediculous. Anyway, I just love to stop at any and all pawn shops
