Bling Bling


Y'know this whole bit about me knowing how to tell the difference between a diamond and not a diamond is actually quite and expensive. It means I need to be able to access loose diamonds. I've managed to pry some tiny ones out of rings and necklaces given to me by ex boyfriends that were just sitting in a drawer.

They're so small though, its difficult to run some of the layman's tests I've looked up. I do know now that if you put a diamond over writing, you can't see anything at all through the table because of how high the light dispersion is, but other than that, I'm a bit lost. I have been practicing with my loupe though, and getting better. Plus I'm meeting some people who were/are jewelers so I'll ask for their help!
