    Long before I had my own ultrasonic cleaning machine, I used a 10
    power loupe and look for the four beads holding the diamond. I look
    for each of the beads and observe if the actual bead is OVER the
    girdle, not beside this stone in question. It's a very simple test
    and no expensive machine is really needed.. You just gotta make darn
    sure the burnished bead is sitting ON the Crown Facets and not
    touching the Girdle.... 

Gerry!
