    Moissanite is a very cheap diamond. It’s very soft and scratchable

    I had always wondered what local jewelers charge for evaluating pieces.

    • @Lauraetcetera
      @Lauraetcetera 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Personally I've found that depends. I have a local jeweler that will look at a piece and at least tell me what he believes the metal and gem(s) are...then another one I prefer that's a little further away; they do excellent work but they won't ballpark value on a thing unless you pay for an appraisal.I haven't had an appraisal done in some time but I think the last one I did was around the $70 range, and that was to insure my wedding set, not resell. It's a little riskier for resell since that cuts into your profit big time.

  • @BuyingSpace
    @BuyingSpace 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    You are not offending me. I bought one from a reseller at an auction and she gave me a "deal". After I made my complaint for her she wanted me to pay postage to return it. So I didn't. I have it in a drawer or box somewhere. I don't use it even though it does give some information but still leaves it up to guesswork.

    • @Lauraetcetera
      @Lauraetcetera 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That's too bad :/ If I still had mine (and it functioned), I would still use it to test a stone and take a picture to use on listings. Might help make the sale :) Also I see several sellers use it for live sales and it does seem to help sales -- at the very least, it proves something isn't glass anyway.

    I have a couple of different testers and I have to say this one is the easiest for me to use. I don’t completely rely on this tool only. I took all my big rocks to evaluate by another person who knows more than I am. And yes, there is additional cost, but I feel more comfortable by having another person to confirm it besides the tool and me. Good discussion and evaluation 👍

    I WISH people would put honest reviews on their TEMU purchases. I always try too. Not everything is 5 stars. Hopefully this lady doing the testing will go back and put an honest review so that others don't get taken by inaccurate descriptions. I have several Moissanite rings from TEMU, very sparkly and pretty. And test out being actual Moissanite. Waited for a holiday sale to buy them. The warehouses I think are supposed to be located in the USA and ship for $2.99 shipping. Supposed to be faster getting your order to you. The stuff shipped from TEMU usually ships free but you do have to buy $15-$20 worth of stuff and it usually takes up to 10 days to get your items.

    I have not shopped from Temu, but they get most of their products from the same sellers or manufacturers than Aliexpress, and I always go and check to see what they list as the material in the description and specifications - if it does not say silver or sterling silver I do not buy it. Simple.

    I found this if you have not seen it already. "Moss agate gets its name from the green, mossy inclusions that run throughout each stone. These inclusions take several forms, from oxides of manganese and iron to a mineral known as chlorite, which all provide some form of green hue. Chlorite is a group of minerals that contain iron and magnesium, and is a primary contributor to the moss-like appearance of moss agate. Chlorite is typically green and enhances the moss-like colorations in moss agate. Other minerals that can contribute to the moss-like appearance of moss agate include: • Manganese and iron oxides These non-organic metallic oxide inclusions have a branching appearance similar to moss. " From a fellow gemstone addict.... It's a curse I'm sure! Nikki

      Hi there! Many of the links don't work anymore, but regardless, I don't like to drive traffic to temu since I don't really support shopping like this...that's why I don't leave links. But when I checked a few weeks ago items were either sold out or the links from my original purchases didn't work anyway. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)

  • @cathpalmer8753
    @cathpalmer8753 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It does state that its coated with sterling silver in the details. I thought originally it was supposed to be solid silver. It has p925 inside which i assume is plated 925

    • @Lauraetcetera
      @Lauraetcetera 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I wish I had put more emphasis on this in the video because I get this comment a lot, but I did check all the descriptions to make sure they explicitly state the jewelry is "solid" 925, which all of them did. None said plated; it was something I specifically looked for when I purchased. Unfortunately some sellers just lie. Cheaper to deal with a handful of returns (because most people will see the stamp and assume it's authentic) than to sell legitimate goods. This is why I always, always, always advocate testing your own jewelry!

    I’ve bought two 925 silver rings from Temu and they are both real and excellent quality. I also bought from a local store, for ten times the cost, and three months later it isn’t here yet. I’ll still buy from both, but it’s no wonder people gravitate to Temu. Edit: I think some of these are stainless steel. They have a lot at Temu and it lasts well.

  • @peppernation9213
    @peppernation9213 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If you bought a $20 diamond tester, it will show moissanite as a diamond. You have to get the more expensive ones that cost like $100 or more in order to find out if it’s a moissanite or a diamond. The easiest test though is just the fog test. If you breathe on a moissanite, it will fog up, and it will hold the fog longer than any diamond would. Diamonds, don’t usually fog up. 💎
