Questions & Comments

you can test the gold with liquid foundation makeup...rub some on your hand or arm, allow to dry and the drag the chain across the area...if a charcoal looking mark is left then it is real gold/silver.

Thank you. I will try that.

Just wondering if this is a relist. I know I saw one exactly like it before.

Oct 20th, 2013 at 6:52:50 PM PDT by

I have never listed this necklace before. I just acquired it through an auction. However you may have seen it before I purchased it.

are you saying that the ruby's and the diamonds are REAL, but the necklace isn't??

Oct 18th, 2013 at 3:24:20 PM PDT by

I do not know if the necklace is real, There are no markings that I can make out. There could is a possible marking on the necklace ring but it is very hard t see. I do know that the gems are real. I studied gemology and know with 100% certainty.

I disagree about the ruby comment. I had a beautiful 4ct REAL Ruby ring and that was why I bought it bc it glowed in the black lights. I thought that was really cool!
Very pretty necklace,,,,real or not! =)

Thank You all ladies, it is a really beautiful piece. I think my best bet will be to get a professionals opinion about the metal.

Oct 20th, 2013 at 6:52:44 PM PDT by

Nice auction...

Oct 20th, 2013 at 6:26:53 PM PDT by

Thank You =)

The best way to know for sure is just to take it to a commercial jeweler and have them look at it. Some of them will tell you for free.

Magnets don't always tell either, I have magnets that work on some things but not on others. Rare Earth Magnets are much stronger and will pick up on alloys or steel under heavy plating.(I don't have one though) .If your magnet works it isn't gold or silver, if it doesn't they aren't necessarily gold or silver.,

In the past I have found that Older Gold (Precious metal) an even Silver may not have any markings at all, We tend to bank on a stamp of 925 for silver-however its not guaranteed pure silver. So to with Gold in some instances its not marked either-especially handmade pieces. (kt so-called gold is not anything like higher numbers at all) I was "Fooled" by an unscruplous one advertising on e-bay. FYI. Ula

sorry about the spelling my brain goes faster than the key board lol and zdelvalle your also right i had a real zales ruby that glowed in a black light real gems glow i have done my research they have a whole group of gems in a museum that they show glowing that meant real they explained it is so beautiful to see

Oct 20th, 2013 at 2:07:33 PM PDT by

Yes it is. I'm glad we are doing our research :)

You can tell if the rubies and diamonds are real is by using a black light. and if the stones glow they are lab create

Oct 19th, 2013 at 3:40:36 PM PDT by

This is very difficult with rubies because you may get a similar reaction this is especially true with rubies.. There are two types of black light used to examine gemstones. Their names are based on wavelength: there is longwave black light and shortwave blacklight. Shortwave lamps produce waves in the range of 180-280 nanometer(nm)/ 1800-2800 angstroms(An). Longwave lamps produce waves 320-380 nm/ 3200-3800 An. Both these lamps. Both have a strong red color under shortwave and strong red/very strong red under longwave. I would suggest a gemologist take a look before dismissing your gemstones.

graycladlady your are correct bi tell everyone about the foundation liqid trick but it will work for gold and goldplated and silver so i use that band a magnet but the only sure way is a tester but ive used that way for many years and the best liquid makeup base is the older cheap kind that has no moisturizers or added stuff in it just plain old base any tint

Oct 20th, 2013 at 2:03:31 PM PDT by

thank you for this information :)

Oct 20th, 2013 at 3:16:39 PM PDT by

I apologize if I don't answer as fast some would like, I am a very busy woman but I do want you all to be comfortable with what you are bidding on so I will provide as much info as I can about any product I am auctioning.

Oct 19th, 2013 at 7:57:36 PM PDT by

Has this been listed before?

Oct 19th, 2013 at 6:24:39 PM PDT by

The way you can tell if any gem is real is by using a black light. If the stones glow then you know they are lab created.

Oct 19th, 2013 at 3:47:06 PM PDT by

She's right about the marks, too, not always real. It's pretty, whatever it is! Lol!!

Oct 20th, 2013 at 4:52:17 PM PDT by

Fanned and watching, please fan me and check out mine, thanks

Oct 19th, 2013 at 11:08:51 AM PDT by

thank u, fanned you back.

Oct 19th, 2013 at 11:47:51 AM PDT by

The necklace is 18 inches long

Oct 19th, 2013 at 7:56:52 AM PDT by

Maybe try taking a picture of the clasp. Sometimes you cant see it, but the computer can blow it up large enough to see. Just a thought.

Oct 20th, 2013 at 6:48:54 PM PDT by

There is nothing on the clasp. There is a faded marking on the ring of the clasp. I have tried to make it out with a magnifying glass but I can't.

Oct 20th, 2013 at 7:05:47 PM PDT by

How long is the necklace?

Oct 19th, 2013 at 1:00:34 AM PDT by

I will measure it and get back to you in half hour
