I have an old ring I recieved when my grandmother passed away in 2002. My initial reaction was that it was diamond, but I am really not sure. I am taking it to a jeweler tomorrow to have it looked at. It is an old ring, 1940′s or older (I am thinking it may have been my great grandmothers, since the size is around size 8, where as my grandmother’s wedding ring is a size 5 1/2). Is it possible for a diamond to have been put under glass in the ring setting? It has an open back setting and is very pretty and sparkley, but not like an obvious fake sparkley, like you see in very cheap rings today. It is set in either 18 or 10 K white gold (there is too much tarnish on the marking that I can’t tell if it says 10 or 18), and has two small “diamonds” on both sides of the larger “diamond” in the middle. It has a 6-prong setting and seems to be a quality ring, but I would like to know if the diamond appears to be real or not. If it isn’t real, I am thinking about getting a smaller diamond than the stone that is in the ring and having the prongs altered to fit the new diamond, so I can use it for my wedding in November. Can anyone tell if this is diamond or glass? I’m sorry, the pictures are kind of crappy, I took like 50, but these were the best, lol.
