Hello All,

    Until this time I have not used diamonds in my work but I recently
    noticed some department store ads that showed a sale price of $250
    (regularly $576) for a tennis bracelet that has 2 CT.T.W (their
    description) of stones in 10KY. Would they be diamonds? I don't know
    what CT.T.W means. 

    If so, have any of you bought such a bracelet just to use the stones
    out of it?  I thought that might be a good way to have a few small
    ones on hand to use in my work, and just melt down the gold part to
    embellish my silver work. Any information would be helpful.
