Suspected gemstones may be tested with Presidium Gem Tester II. This tester does not identify all possibilities but gives a good approximation of major gemstones.

Please note that it cannot differentiate between natural and created stones. Suspected diamonds may be confirmed with Diamond Selector II which differentiates between natural diamonds and imitations. Seed pearls will not be tested and may be cultured or imitation.

Stamped metals are not tested unless suspect. Unstamped metals may be tested using JSP acid testing solution. This test is subjective and determinations will be approximate.

I always do my best to ensure the accuracy of my listings. Unless jewelry is marked (as much of my jewelry is from England and bears assay marks,) the age is merely an educated guess.

Also, antique jewelry will often have minor or major! Gift Wrapping: All jewelry orders come in presentable packaging by default. This may be a nice ring box or jewelry gift box. I do not include invoices with any of my packaging by default.
