Over many years of buying jewelry from QVC I decided to auction several sterling and gold pieces recently. Four of the sterling rings from the affinity line tested as moissanite! Now I wonder if the testing was flawed or if affinity was not always diamonds. Getting difficult to know who to believe.

What is moissanite?

I wonder if they used only a diamond tester? If they did then that can show the stones to be either one. What needs to be done is have the stones tested using a Moissanite tester to differentiate the stones. Diamond testers can't tell the difference between the two types of stone.
I would take the jewelry to a reputable jeweler and have them test it.

@Gabidog I agree with the other posters. I used to work for a high end jewelry store and we had testers for different stones. Don't just accept this outcome without checking somewhere else.

I wish my Affinity diamonds sparkled like my moissanite! Mine are dull.

I never cared for the quality of the Affinity diamonds so, I never bought any ....🧐

@GabidogCan't they be sued for false advertising??? The Q swears by their authenticity of gem stones always! Makes me wonder about other gems they are selling too!
@catnappurr - That's making quite a leap, considering none of us know what test was done and what the actual stones are.
How do you immediately decide to sue, when you have no facts to go on? I don't have any issue with the jewelry I've bought from QVC over the years. In fact, I had quite a lot valued once for insurance purposes and the values were even higher than I'd expected. The valuation was done by a reputable expert.
