    Opinions please! Is this a real diamond ring or just a fakey? The inside says 18k but I can’t make out the other letters...

    From a photograph? I suggest you make a little visit to your jewelers.

    ladies cocktail ring....if 18K...the stones should be real...but not big enough get flustered about.

    Well I thought that I might be able to avoid a little embarrassment if enough people agreed that it obviously wasn’t diamonds.

    Hey if I can get a diamond ring for $3.00 and sell it for $20.00, I’m going to be flustered. . Thanks, I will look into a diamond tester!

    Without knowing the age and history of the ring,the condition of the prongs means nothing.Many so-called bench jewelers at jewelry stores have ruined a lot of jewelry.

    You're right about jewelers ruining jewellery. I wasn't talking about condition though, but the way the stones are set, it is not very precise.
