[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Np here. Every jeweler I know and a very well known appraiser have to bring out the tools to differentiate diamonds from moissanite. There is no way they can determine from a quick look while the diamond is on someone's ear. I have no clue how they differentiate lab created from mined diamonds. [/quote]

I'm the PP who can tell a moissanite by looking (and any jeweler worth their salt could too). Lab diamonds can only be identified by their inclusion type, that's a totally different thing.

And what do you do when you spot a moissanite? Send the wearer back to her village in shame?[/quote]

No, I think moissanite is lovely and prefer it for pavé. [/quote]
