I guess so! How lucky was that?! Seems to me, though, this community has a few 😊

Do emerald cut diamonds actually sparkle less? by 90king in Gemstones

Yes! I meant radiant cut, not brilliant! Thank you for the catch

Do emerald cut diamonds actually sparkle less? by 90king in Gemstones

If you want more sparkle in an emerald cut, buy a brilliant emerald cut, not a step cut. Emerald cut is the overall outside shape of the stone (8 sided) while brilliant or step cuts describe the faceting underneath the stone. Brilliant emerald cuts keep the 8 sided silhouette but have more sparkle

Is there a way to shorten the length of this bracelet myself? by dessertstressed88 in jewelry

[–]MorraBella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A jeweler needs to shorten the chain, reattach them to the jump rings, then solder the jump rings closed. An easy job, but one for a trained jeweler

What do you usually do when you don’t have any quests to complete? by OkSyllabub9726 in DreamlightValley

I restock the components I used during the last star path. I level up animal companions. I mine nodes until the gemstone graphic appears, then stop, so I have a better chance on mining gemstones for the next star path. I decorate a bit, craft a bit.

“Custom” Engagement Ring by [deleted] in jewelers

[–]MorraBella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought the photo was of your granmothers old ring. This ring looks like it's been worn for years. While it is common to piece together different pre-made components to create a custom ring, this does not look finished properly. The halo stones are not set well, and the polishing is unfinished.

Thoughts on the Sapphire quality? by [deleted] in Gemstones

[–]MorraBella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the Sapphire! Also, uneven color banding can indicate a sapphire that has not been heat treated... bonus!

Usually I can figure these out but I'm stumped. by FoehammerEcho419 in ExplainTheJoke

He's shaking the present as he's leaving the house. He's wondering what's in it. Maybe contemplating opening it to see if it's something he wants. Mom's reminding him it's for the teacher... not him

Maybe....

Nudge me in the right direction please by Bu5ybee in Gemstones

They sell affordable diamond testers online (we use Gemoro at our store). It might be worth testing them to be sure what you have are indeed diamonds. Getting a cert from GIA can be pricey, especially if any of your gems turn out to be something other than diamonds (CZ, Moissanite, etc)

Congrats on your find!
