How to Age a European Cut Diamond

P: 2/8/2006 3:49:28 PM
daigk Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 2/8/2006 Member Since: 2/8/2006	I was recently given a European Cut diamond ring by my boyfriend. According to him, it has been in his family for 80-100 years. I've recently had it appraised, but was wondering if there is anyway to determine a diamond's age? Any thoughts would be great!!

It's currently in a 14 karat white gold setting. I'll try to get a pix tonight and post it in the next several days. Thanks for the warm welcome.
