[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought a certified estate antique for the reason of avoiding new mined diamonds.
As for lab versus mined, it totally depends on how it feels to you. I got one of each to test it out recently when I lost my ring. I felt like - this is subjective - the lab felt like costume jewelry. It wouldn’t have felt that way if it was my original ring or my husband gave it to me, I don’t think. But it literally felt like something from Anthropologie that I bought for a party. So I found an estate marked piece and I love it. To each their own. [/quote]

Your description is ridiculous. It isn't costume jewelry by any stretch. There isn't anything really special about old stones, often they're really crappy quality.

One of my hobbies is antique jewelry and you need to be careful. People often replace the stones and even in the 1800s it was common to use substitutes. For example most old jewelry with sapphires actually don't have sapphires. Despite someone telling me it was certified, I'd take it to a real appraiser. [/quote]

What a stupid post. I am sure this PP got it appraised or bought it from a reputable place. [/quote]

I bought it from an auction house, it cost north of $50k, so yes, I did take it to an appraiser. Thanks. [/quote]
