Pre-beginner’s luck - My best find came before my first detector! - UPDATE: fake

UPDATE: Took it in to a trusted local jeweler (thanks Yelp!), and not only is the stone CZ, the band turned out to be some kind of plated brass with a counterfeit stamp. Easy come, easy go, I guess - and now I know a good place to get stuff tested for free in the future!

Wow, that's terrible! That one is a serious heartbreaker.
Now you gotta redeem. Go find a real one. Got your detector yet?

Oh snap!
Well Its nice to find a free gold tester in your vicinity.
 
Ouch!! That's cold! Counterfeit 14???? That's why I bought a couple acid tester kits. I couldn't handle the wait LOL! Sorry it didn't end up being real. Still a cool find tho!
 
way to go, keep your head down. Nice chunk of gold and that looks like a real diamond. Don't see why they would have that much gold with a fake diamond.
