Found a bracelet with what I THINK are diamonds.

I knew nothing about determining whether they were fake or not, so I searched. I did the fog test, and I think it evaporated in the amount of time for diamonds. Also, the gems in question are set in a metal with the number "925" engraved on it.

925 is the mark for silver, or sterling silver, right? Who puts fake diamonds in real silver? Well, maybe some crafty counterfeiters do. But I did find this outside a church, so I doubt that is the issue, and they don't have any play jewelry for the toddlers.

The bracelet has 33 gems. 11 regular sized diamonds and 22 smaller diamonds, two on either side of the 11 regular sized ones. It is 7 and a half inches long and can fit on a 14 year old's wrist. By regular size, I mean a little smaller than a small pupil. Like, the size of the letter O on your keyboard. Yeah, thats it.

How much do you wager I can fetch for it? If it IS a real diamond bracelet, I'm selling it and buying a new laptop.

My family biz is garage selling, so we come across stuff like that all the time, still a good find.

We own a shop, but a shop is more of a liability than just selling things on your front door step.

Take it to several pawnshops, and let them value it for you, or Google.

But you could always ask a true professional, KYM is just filled with those on every subject.

I don't know. From what I've read, even a real diamond can be scratched by glass, and that would make it worth less. I'll try it and do it gentle like…
