FREE: ***NEAT*** Jewels loose

and the only way to really tell, is to look at them through a jewelers loop, there are so many beautiful laboratory grown ones, heat treated to enhance color, but there are just as many beautiful glass, crystal and rhinestone ones as well, I occaisionally make an error, and I have been doing jewerly for 32 years starting in High school, and I designed my own rings, because I like big stones and I could never find any to fit a man's fingers, so I would go to the jewelry auction everyday, for 2 years and outbid anyone who dared challenge me....I taught myself how to solder and I would solder a silver hoop from a woman's earring (for the ring part) to the back of another with a jewel in it and no hoop, I became quite well known for really contemporary designs some even abstract and I sold at local flea markets and boutiques, and advanced from there...

those are very beautiful stones you got there and so precious...WOW! GORGEOUS...

sad, i dont have enough credits to bid... :(

very nice : ) denice

your welcome

nice

I am amazed what you can learn by reading these comments. Thanks for the insight archangelstmichael. These are nice stones either way tho.

Thanks

Hey check out my items. I just started listing.

They look good!

they look like just normal rhinestone jewelry making stuff.

The mouth is extremely temperature sensitive and can detect warm and cold better than a hand or fingers, it the stones were cold, real cold like they were in the refridgerator they are most likely genuine, however they could be lab grown, then they would be perfect without inclusions or flaws and they would be bright and shiney like colored diamonds. Anyway thank you for lowering your opening bid to a more reasonable offer I appreciate it....btw if you ever have any questions regarding gems, or metal for jewelry let me know I have auctions running on this site all the time as well and my username is arcangelstmichael

well i didn't put any in my mouth LOL

If you can clearly see the dot undistorted they are glass, and if the dot is foggy, distorted, or broken then they are genuine, If the stone is room temperature they are glass, and if the stones are cold they are from the earth and they are genuine.....

when you put the stones in your mouth were they room temperature or cold.....?

i hope that starting bid is more satisfying. thanks for looking all!

truthfully i just didn't know what to start them at, i can lower the starting bid if it makes yall feel comfortable, im not trying to pass these off as real stones, i havn't a clue what they are, i just thought 100 was too high to start but i guess i didn't go back down far enough. im used to dealing with kids clothes lol not fake/real semi precious not precious at all kind of stones, as i said before i just don't know what to do with them, so i posted them on here.

Test to see if they are real or glass, test #1 - pop 1 or 2 of them in you mouth and see if they are room temp or cold, test #2 - place a pin-sized dot on a piece of paper and place one of the clear stone flat side down on top of the dot, is the dot visible through the stone or is it opaque, (not visible) ? and i must say you must be pretty confident on the validity of the stones starting the opening bid at 80....

i just started workingwith loose gems and settings, i'd love to win... i hopei haveenough credits when the end of this comes

it's possible, im not trying to make them out to be fresh cut jewels lol, i just thought i would post them, this lady did have money, and she was crafty also so either way they are pretty and shiny and little and i don't know what to do with them.
