Hi there, I just bought a Miadonna stone off an online seller and it didn't come with a certificate. I am worried that I might have received a regular cz or russian cz. Is there any way to check and make sure it is a hybrid? Does it have any etchings or engravings in the stone? Sorry I'm new to this and this stone will be placed in the center of my engagement ring. I will post pictures soon.

You just got an Asha with a huge markup. Miadonna is an Asha reseller.

Thanks for the quick replies! Actually I got it for a really really good price. $75 for a 1 carat!!! i don't mind paying that for an Asha or Miadonna but I will not pay that for a regular cz. I mean, it looks real close to my other diamond ring but I am still worried cause I don't have the certificate. Do jewelers even do tests for hybrids? Is there a test I can do myself??

I could be wrong...
But I believe that you don't have a diamond hybrid. I believe that you have a diamond coated CZ.
Someone with more knowledge and vocabulary will hopefully chime in and explain this better.

Oh yikes.. I didn't read that you bought it from an online seller. Do you have the link to where you bought it?? $75 is a huge discount for a 1ct!!
I don't think there are any tests you could do.. maybe a jeweler could tell you if it is just a CZ??
What shape is the stone?

I bought it off ebay and oddly they are no longer a seller. Their status changed today. It is a round solitaire and I will take a picture of it next to a real diamond ring. I might just have to take it to a jeweler to see if its just a regular cz. It better not be..or i'll be  !!
