Well, I'm sure some of you are aware of my recent diamond & silver ordeal, so what's the very first target I pluck out of the sand on my very next hunt........this silver & CZ monster. Talk about adding insult to injury!

That is the biggest CZ I've ever seen.

It was an earring, the setting is just under 6grms. The silver is pretty eaten up, it was all green and crusty so it had to spend some time in electrolysis and I still didn't get it all off. Been in the water quite a while. Also found a couple of pieces of silver in the same area, a cross and a heavy ring, and both of them were pretty well eaten up as well. After cleaning, the cross is worn paper thin and badly pitted, and the ring is just a waste. But they were good signs.

Wait, I thought your engagement ring ended up being genuine diamonds in silver? Was it a CZ?

It's still up in the air, but mostly because I've just not gone through all of the labors of finding out for sure yet. But, after spending a great deal of time researching diamonds, CZ's, etc., "most likely"...the first jewelry shop was wrong and it isn't real. When I get time I have a place in mind to take it next time I'm over that way.

Next time..... its going to be the BIG ticket. I think we have all found the heart stoppers that turned out to be depressing to say the least.
