[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never buy real diamond earrings that large. I lost one side a few years ago, which was painful. I've been thinking about turning the other side into a pendant, but never got around to it. 
Honestly, no one can tell the difference unless they're so close to your ear they can see any real imperfections. My BFF's father is a jeweler, and he scoffs when people claim they can tell the difference between a real and fake diamond by sight (without a loupe).[/quote]

Both CZ and Moissanite have a different sparkle, so yes, I can tell without a loupe. Obviously not true for lab diamonds. [/quote]

No, you can't. You're mistaking different cuts and clarity, but you can't tell by the different "sparkle." But, go ahead, if you want to think that you have a better eye than a 70 year old jeweler who has worked with gems for 50 years of his life.

You are wrong. I know cut, I know clarity, and I know double refraction (moissanite). I’m guessing you would too if you learned what to look for. [/quote]

Why do you think reputable jewelers have all sorts of equipment in their labs to test the density, heat residence, and refraction ratio of gems? It's because technology has advanced so much in recent years that you cannot tell by the naked eye whether the studs in my ears are real. And you're definitely not holding my earring up against a white sheet of paper to assess its refracted light. I'm not sure why you feel so invested in thinking that you are an expert, when you are not. You may be very good, but you're not a gemologist. Humility is a good thing.[/quote]
