<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 4298278, member: 8708&quot;]Apologies this is very modern piece but I’d like your thoughts on it please.</p><p>In amongst tangled tourist type cheap jewellery was this bracelet.</p><p>I picked it up as I could see all the gems were prong set and it looked more quality than the usual costume. I thought it could be silver with CZ or at worst one of the fake 925 silver but I’d only have lost £2.</p><p>When I got it home to my surprise it’s marked 9K and IJDN which I’ve tracked down to a US company called InterJewel.</p><p>However I have a few thoughts/questions about it that have me wondering…..</p><p>There is very little out there about InterJewel but they have been around since 1992.</p><p>The bracelet is marked 9K on the back and 10k on the clasp. The 9K holds with 9K at acid test but the 10k tongue doesn’t so well. Why would an American piece even have 9K on it?. Is this a company that uses other countries that produce their items where they could be under karat?</p><p>So I was thinking it could just be an under karat pretender with glass gems until I test but the Presidium says they are diamonds. Much as I moan about my gem tester (named Mary Contrary!) she has been reliable with diamonds/ruby/sapphire although I don’t have any Moissanite to see what she says about that as I know the two are tricky to differentiate between.</p><p>There are literally hundreds of gems that look to be of varying quality, the bracelet is c1.5cm wide with a broken clasp.</p><p>Sorry about the rambling and Thankyou for reading this far!.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]347467[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347468[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347469[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347472[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]347476[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
