Before You Junk That Junk Jewelry....

[kac]

Hit local park before the blistering cold comes and came across this ring I thought was kiddie bling as you can see the plating on it but I saw a 925MO and it rang in like a silver. Acid test was bit off on Silver and Platinum test passed but I doubt it was platinum as it rang in up in the silver range.

Turns out it was platinum plated silver with moissanite stones. Large one is 8mm and retails just under $800. Not bad for what I thought was junk.

That a heckuva find kac! ?

Always clean your stuff before forgetting about it. ? A few have gotten a shock like this recently ? this is for them, not you ??

Glad you got out before the cold snap. ?

Very nice.  When in doubt clean it up after you dig it out.  haha

Great find and glad that you didn't throw it away!

Now in the future when you don't want to check things out just send them to my P.O. and I will let you know what their worth, for a small fee of course say a 90-10 split. I promise you will get a check for your 10 percent right away.

Good luck on your next outing and stay safe.

Nice find Kac. To bad it wasn't all platinum and very nice diamond. Still a great find.

Kind of similar:

On a different site, I recall some guy telling people not to bother checking the stones on silver rings because, "No one puts valuable stones in silver rings".

I couldn't find a facepalm large enough to reply with.

Well done, kac! Even when you think something is trash, check it again, You just never know what it will turn out to be.

I have another silver ring that has diamonds, they aren't big but still. Not all silver has junk stones.
