I didn’t ask anyone to jump at the snap of a finger. I didn’t even request your input specifically at all. Another member of this discussion board tagged you. And the seller is sending the necklace in to GIA after consulting them. So we will see.

I didn’t have the money to buy it. I wanted to borrow it from family members but they wouldn’t lend me it without the assurance of “experts” confirming that I knew what I was talking about. Which brought me here. And not one expert (with the exception of Pattye who dmed me) on here could see...
