I been wanting to find a diamond. I found this and didn't know what to think.That got me to thinking
I was on my way to a river park playground where I'm trying to remove all the nails & iron. As I passed by a play ground at Fair Park in Little Rock, I noticed that no one was there. I had never hunted there before so I decided to stop. I was hunting around the play ground equipment and in about 30 minutes I kicked this earring out of the sand.
I looked at it and it didn't have any markings on it. It looked to be cast in such a way that it didn't require hardly any hand work by a jeweler. I couldn't tell what kind of metal it is. It's silver colored. Could it be white gold with diamonds? I didn't think so, , but that raised a burning question.
What if I find a real diamond?
My wife worked as a jeweler most of her life before she died. She worked for a jewelery whole sail company that sells and repairs jewelry for jewelry stores.
I know every one down there so I went and asked Kyle, the owner there, about this ear ring. He said pretty much what I thought about the ear ring. If the mounting isn't stamped and or hand worked by a jeweler, the chances of it being a diamond are almost none.
I asked Kyle " what if I find some thing that might have a valuable stone in it ".
He said " bring it to me and I'll tell you what it is at no charge". He said I could bring him my junk gold and he would verify, classify and weigh it for me in just a few minutes at no charge. He also said some times jewlery is marked as gold and it is not.
He said I shouldn't take it to some one els until I know exactly what I have because they will keep it for days and then take me to the cleaners.
I'm lucky to know Kyle. Take it for what its worth. I just thought this might be a word to the wise.
I'm going to find a diamond. It's just a matter of commitment.
Keep on diggen
