Default 2 diamond rings - Possibly my best single day!

I am still shaking a little, even though I have been home a couple of hours from the beach. Today was an exceptional day with 2 diamond rings!!!!

The solitaire came up first. It is 14 Karat white gold and the ring has a serial number etched into it with a diamond symbol. It looks to be genuine and has a little carbon and very few occlusions.

The larger ring is also white gold but is 18 Karat. The diamonds appear to be genuine but I will not know with any certainty until I test them with the tester.

If they are real, the will be my 2nd best, if not THE best haul I have made to date.

UPDATE: Diamond tester arrived today. Confirms by heat test and by UV light that they are ALL genuine diamonds and not synthetics!

The diamonds look good and I'm sure the tester will confirm your finds to be real. A really great piece of hunting!
