Real Diamonds and Silver or Something Else?

Keep in mind that most jewelers won’t combine quality diamonds with sterling silver – unless they’re very low-quality stones that aren’t worthy of being paired with 14k gold or another precious metal. Since silver tarnishes it would make for an ugly setting. It’s best to go with something better.

Silver is usually paired with cubic zirconia and/or cheaper gemstones, but it’s still eye-catching and beautiful. It’s much easier on the wallet too!

How can you tell if a diamond is real?

You can find out if it’s a real diamond with a diamond testing tool. It’s ideal for anyone that needs to know if it’s a genuine stone or a cheap knockoff. The test won’t damage it, but you could also leave it to a professional.

Now that you have the answer to the question, ‘what does an IBB CN jewelry stamp mean?’, consider the many options for beautiful gemstone jewelry. It’s more affordable than you might think!
