    Great video…. Pink sapphire most likely. Great find! There is every color possible when it comes to sapphires. Try your black light to see if she fluoresces. If she glows it was most likely treated.

    Hi, Sandra! Generally speaking, rubies and sapphires are the same gem. They are both corundum. Red corundum is ruby and every other color corundum is sapphire. Gemstones goes over this in more detail on their channel. They are a great resource to learn about gem stones and gem materials. I hope this information helps. 🙂

      They’re probably heat treated. You can tell by looking under magnification to see if there are color poolings in the inclusions.

    There is such a thing as a pink ruby. Rare & very valuable. The first time you tested it though, it came up as a pink sapphire. I have a pink ruby.

    Hi Sandra, at TS 13:21 the brooch may be rhodium plated. If one needs to get through it to see if it’s precious metal underneath, it can be a bear to get through. We can see why some of these pieces last for so long, right? That rhodium is a very hard substance.
    Great video! 👍❤️

    The pink ring could be both, but if it's a pink sapphire it is very rare. Take it a gem person.

  • @judyduke4667
    @judyduke4667 3 місяці тому

    I think it maybe a pink sapphire. But take it to jewelry store to find out. I didn't know about pink ruby. But you never know.

    Do you test for platinum? I had to get plat solution cos a bracelet turned out to be platinum. 😊 it leaves an interesting mark.
    I double check a lot, too. Can drive you nuts. Hugs!

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes! I try to be gentle when scratching - sometimes too gentle. So sometimes I need a do-over. My kit does platinum too. Congrats on the platinum bracelet and thanks for watching!

    I love your educational videos. Not that its any of my business, but are you left handed or right handed? I notice you are very ambidextrous.

    • @TheFunkyPickleThrifter
      @TheFunkyPickleThrifter  3 місяці тому

      I like to write left-handed, but do everything else (scissors, bowling, tools, etc) with my right. I snapped my left humerus a few years ago (not as fun as it sounds haha!) and was forced to write right-handed. I can do it, but it doesn't look great. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
