A Fortunate Find
Recently, Cynthia, a past customer of ours excitedly walked into our store. She had found a pendant on the ground that looked like a diamond and wanted to know if it was really a diamond or a cubic zirconia.
With our knowledge and experience we can usually tell just by looking at the stone and it looked like it could be a real diamond. To confirm it positively we used a diamond tester and it indicated that it was a diamond. We also tested it with a moisannite tester to rule out that it was not a moisannite, because moisannites can fool diamond testers.
It was indeed a diamond that weighed ¾ carat which was worth about $4000. What a fortunate find! I guess some people are just born lucky!
