Posted By: Kate Fri, Jun 02, 2017 Thank you so much! How about other marks? Is there any gold content information?I was told by the seller that it was 20k gold - is that what the marking says? I never had the ring tested. Here is a picture of the ring. |

Posted By: rat Fri, Jun 02, 2017 the mark in the middle of your first picture indicates that it is gold 金 but I can't read the second character of that marking. I don't think it equates to 20 carat hardness per se but this is not a field I know much about. It seems like a fairly ordinary ring; it's possible that the inset jade is more valuable than the ring itself. |
