Went to a city park with Missy and Bill and found this ring on Saturday - it has 30 little 'diamonds'! <: Gonna get it tested tomorrow night at our local club. It just seems 'too well-made to be fake', as my hubby says. Even if it is cz, I am happy, I'll wear this one...

What a rush! lol And I think I might go ahead and get mizar and gold testers lol

Awesome find!

Did my first happy dance <: last fall when I found my first 10k gold ring with mini diamonds. Actually, I never tested the diamonds, but I don't wanna ruin my excitement so let's just say they are diamonds :peace:

Great score on the nice looking ring Tanacat thumbsup01 hopefully it's real. I found one very similar in the water but it was marked 925 so I know it was silver. I found a 14K man's wedding band last summer I never really thought much about till I broke down and bought me a gold tester and when going through all the unmarked rings I thought might be possible gold I came on the wedding band and was a happy camper.

My fingers are crossed for ya Tana, another thing to look at is diamonds will have small breathing holes behind them, the diamond tester is a wise investment the only negative is friends and relitives come by to have there wedding ring checked and all :devilish:-ll can break loose lol

Salty Dog. The extent of my wife's interest in metal detecting starts and ends with any rings and other jewelry i find. That and it get me out of the house for hours at time.
