Hi,
I was looking at a piece of jewelry a friend got from her Grandma''s estate, and to me,although I''m far from an expert, looks just like Russian Diopside. It''s in 14K gold, and I''m just wondering if there is a way to tell if it''s real- looking at it close, certain lighting, etc. Or would a jewler be able to "test" it somehow?
I suppose it could be green tourmaline, but when I was it I IMMEDIATELY thought of diopside. Oh, andshe''s selling it for 125.00
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
