Wow I’m impressed with the jewelry! Just a tip with the diamond selector, depending on the size of the stone you have to set the right number on the scale. So testing that big stone should be brought down to a 1 or 2, the smaller the stone you should set it to a higher number like 4 or 5, there should be a chart on the back of the tester. Just thought you’d like to know! Also love how you are sharing all your hobbies and interest, I’m here for jewelry and etcetera! Lol
I set it a little higher because the chart is temperature based as well and I was recording in my (omg SO CHILLY) basement. I'll have to try it again upstairs and see if I get the same reading! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and watching! And I am soooo happy you're here for all of it lol; I am so nervous I'm scaring off everyone flipping around like crazy, haha. But that's just the real me honestly! If channel surfing was a personality trait....that's me with hobbies lol
I’ve actually gotten some sterling from surprising places. Cool to know. Couldn’t guess on the moisanite because I have no clue what it is 😂😂 I can’t pick a fave, the moss was pretty, the leaves were pretty, the most n and stars….all great picks. Thanks hun, great vid #sparkle
Well thank you! I liked them all too :P I reaalllllyyyyyyyyy wish that dang moissonite was in my size!! Still waiting to hear back from Shein about that one.....thanks for watching!
I had to watch this. So many buy from Temu. I bought some items but never the jewelry. I guess they can sell cheap because they are cutting out the middle man or two or three. Good alternative for people on a strict budget but want jewelry. Not serious jewelry collectors. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that’s a good way of looking at it. These are definitely not anything I’d consider heirloom but they are cute little accessories. Thanks for watching!
perhaps it's just not quite 925, i've had silver jewelry i had to retest with the acid for silver because it just gave me funky readings with the 18k solution, turned out yes silver but not sterling.
That’s definitely a possibility. Usually 18k is pretty trustworthy (and it’s what my jeweler uses) but I didn’t consider the possibility of a lower percentage of silver in some of these. I’ll have to give a comparison test between 900, 925, 950, and 999. That would be interesting! Thanks for the inspiration!
I belive they sale the cases for travel to keep you jewelry in. And it may be no tarnish. If you’re Jewlery is not testing as silver and it states of the silver you can return it. I know in Temu I would assume Shein is the same you can do one return per order, which can be multiple items at no cost to you.
I have bought several rings and earrings in silver from Shein a beautiful pair of earrings with silver and gold. I had to have the chain swapped out and the gold smith tested it and it was all real. I bought a pair of earrings with clear stones in, the stones looks awful, they don't shine at all, they look like plastic, so I never buy with that kind of stones anymore.
You are only doing half of the test, test the actual ring. Hornblende, chlorite and iron create the green inclusions in moss agate. The inclusions are called dendritic.
Thanks for the suggestion! I test in the way my jewelry suggested but I'll have to try that as well next time. thanks for the information on the "moss", I'll have to look that up -- I always thought it might be epidote but wasn't sure if epidote could grown with dendritic formations. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Loved this experiment. I never knew you could test silver. Would you buy the test liquid online! And we're you using a rubber stamp to scratch?? The mosinite ring was an absolutely gorgeous. Would be proud to wear!
Thank you! There's a link for the testing kits in the description. I bought them from amazon. The scratching tile is actually frosted glass I believe with a black rubber backing so it doesn't slide. I thought for the longest time it was a black tile of some sort but it doesn't appear that way if you look at it through the side. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
To be precise, chalcedony is an umbrella term encompassing all microcrystaline quartz, such as agates, but also jaspers. Tigers eye is also considered chalcedony, oddly enough, as is carnelian, bloodstone, etc. :) Macrocrystaline quartz would be crytal quartz, amethyst, citrine, smokey, morion, etc. Sorry I could talk rocks all day :P
I think many fail to label things correctly in order to sell more. Like instead of just silver, to silvertone; gold to gold tone. Also, a huge red flag are the metal markings, like 925 or K and makers mark.
I could however it's harder to read and not as trustworthy in my experience. Actually I did a whole video on the difference between acids; most were consistent except for one which was silver for 18k but not silver with the silver acid. I took it to my jewelry who verified it was silver! So now I only use 18k. Here is the video if you are interested (it was recorded live so not as polished as this video, haha). thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/E7lnM8CwNRM/v-deo.html
Welcome and thank you SO much for the sub!! I used a diamond tester to test the moissanite. Moissanite has the same conductivity as a diamond so it will test as diamond using diamond testing probes, even though it is a man made stone :) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@Lauraetcetera YW keep up the good work . I love thrift shop finds and vintage finds and I love to know if the gems are real or fake or if the lucite is genuine etcetera
it leave a very small imperfection but it's not at all noticeable, unless the item is plated, then you can see the base metal in that spot (for example if it's silver plated brass you will see a small bit of brassy color where you scratched it)
That moon and star ring WAS precious! My fav was the final ring, 3 in 1 beauty. Such a shame that it didn't come in its ordered size! #sparkle Love the new equipment!
omg I feel like you just busted me -- I'm totally wearing the moon and star one right now, lol!! It IS so pretty! Gotta wear it before someone wins it ;) Thanks for taking the time to comment!
#sparkle this was so interesting 🤔 because I’ve often bought fashion jewellery from them but I’d always assumed that the sliver pieces were always fake and I was so chuffed I guessed the moissanite price . Moissanite is one of my favourite stones so I might actually be inclined to purchase one from them . Am so happy I found your channel as I am mad about jewellery and gemstones everything and anything xxx ❤
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, and nicely done on the price guess! Oh goodness if you love to ogle jewelry and gemstones, there's no shortage of those videos around here haha
#sparkle I think the moissanite was beautiful - not a fan of the ring guard - nice choice to keep. The green agate would be my 2nd choice. I'm surprised at the costs of all of them!🤯.
the only way to know for sure is a reputable jeweler but in my experience, diamonds that look as high quality as moissanite will be set in gold. usually only lower grade diamonds are in silver (but not always). Diamond also almost always have inclusions in them that you can see with a jewelers loupe. Flawless diamonds are rare and expensive.
On a moral level, no, not really. I'd rather buy local or from a small seller and be paying for the good customer service and expertise that comes long with it, as well as curated pieces that I know will have longevity. On an economical level, yes, I think it's "worth it" if you are looking for a precious metal piece at a reasonable cost--but you do have to adjust your expectations for quality. For example, the amount of sterling in these pieces is minimal. Some are thin, and some have the stones glued in rather than prong set, etc. I hope that makes sense! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
oh no!! I didn't even think about adding Amazon to the list of testing cheap sterling pieces, but I might have to do that! Do you ever acid test your jewelry? Yikes I would hope Amazon would be more reputable!
I absolutely would love the moissonite ring. #sparkle. I am also NOT the size they sent you. So if you can get a $20 real moissonite ring, what they are charging for some is stupid. I’m not sure which is the scam. I’d say the moissonite rings in the hundreds. Not Temu surprisingly! 🇨🇦

GRA certifications are 99.999% of the time fake, even when the moissanite is real, it wont be the quality cert says. Only time.you know its real is when it says ita inscribed with ther "certification" id number, and that is lazer inscribed. Im could see it being sterling, its possible. They can completely make these using less then 5 minutes of labor on the ring by cutting corners like glueing the pave stones in, tumble polishing etc. And when labor is only a few dollars per shift, silver is the biggest investment in rhe item, likely still less then 2-3$ each. Moissanite is pretty much a sturdier CZ any more. With rhst said. Say you need a set for a wedding or something tounwanna look nice for once every 4-5 years, why waste the momey? It has its use. And thats comming from a jeweler lol. Cool content, ill subscribe
Thanks so much for the sub! YES, so may people think moissanite is a rare and uncommon stone, not realizing it's man made. It reminds me of diamonds in a way -- not for the obvious reasons but for the exceptional marketing "they" have done to inflate the prices on it (obviously expensive diamonds have their place in the market but I have seen the lowest quality stones added to pieces just to increase the price because "it has diamonds!"). At least those are my thoughts, but what do I know ;) As a jeweler, can you speak on the validity of using 18k acid to test silver? My personal jewelry advocates for it but I'd love to hear another opinion! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

@@MariaNickLambert I could but I doubt I will lol; they won't let me exchange it either, I have to return it, then wait for a refund, then buy it again. That'll probably be like 2 weeks or more from now and knowing me I'll lose interest by then LOL
@@Lauraetcetera oh my gosh, they should let you exchange it, waiting for a refund from a large company takes a while. I don’t think that’s the best customer service. I guess it’s back to hunting again for the right one. Maria
I don't think anyone here is dumb, the question was if Shein's jewelry is actually made from sterling. Happy to say that is seems to be, but no, these are not heirloom quality pieces or anything! Thanks for watching

Yes. I think you can be lucky with some pieces, but also disappointed. I often by stainless jewelery from Shein. All the best from Switzerland🇨🇭
After you do your scratch test, use the acid to touch the RING where you scratched it and wore it throgh. If it bubbles it is base metal
You are only doing half of the test, test the actual ring. Hornblende, chlorite and iron create the green inclusions in moss agate. The inclusions are called dendritic.

What's the name of the shop in Shein you bought this from? Thanks
Moss agate is a semi-precious stone that, despite its name, is actually a variety of chalcedony quartz rather than agate.
To be precise, chalcedony is an umbrella term encompassing all microcrystaline quartz, such as agates, but also jaspers. Tigers eye is also considered chalcedony, oddly enough, as is carnelian, bloodstone, etc. :) Macrocrystaline quartz would be crytal quartz, amethyst, citrine, smokey, morion, etc. Sorry I could talk rocks all day :P
@@Lauraetcetera me too sister! 😊
I can't see any scratches on the tile unless you hold it up closer to the camera. My daughter loves sheen! So far nothing has turned her green. LOL.
Where did you buy the items exactly ?
shein's website
I think many fail to label things correctly in order to sell more.
Like instead of just silver, to silvertone; gold to gold tone. Also, a huge red flag are the metal markings, like 925 or K and makers mark.
sorry i'm new to this stuff, why is the 925 mark a red flag?
Could you use the silver acid test. I bet it won't be red.
I could however it's harder to read and not as trustworthy in my experience. Actually I did a whole video on the difference between acids; most were consistent except for one which was silver for 18k but not silver with the silver acid.

Hi Mary!! I agree, I was expecting at least one to be a fakey but nope!
Definitely complain about the size or give the poor review for bad sizing. People need to know about bad sellers!
I ended up returning it, but it was not an easy process! I had to provide photo proof before they would accept a return
The how do you know the difference between a real diamond and Mosinate sorry for the spelling

@@Lauraetcetera oh my gosh, they should let you exchange it, waiting for a refund from a large company takes a while. I don’t think that’s the best customer service. I guess it’s back to hunting again for the right one. Maria
Whos is dummy enough to think that Shein is selling quality
I don't think anyone here is dumb, the question was if Shein's jewelry is actually made from sterling. Happy to say that is seems to be, but no, these are not heirloom quality pieces or anything! Thanks for watching
Looks like moss agate
duh its fake
Don't add annoying loud music
.....loud?
@@Lauraetceterayou’re fine. It’s not loud
Too much talking
I can’t believe you are so gullible. .
spoken like someone who didn't actually watch the video....
she talks a bit too much and one loses track of the real topics...
I don’t think so personally, I just see it as someone who loves what there doing and enjoys explaining things throughly
I really appreciate this comment! Thank you!!
