926 mark looks like gold ring? My first? Is it solid or plated?

Gorgar · Nov 5, 2014

I think I may have find my first "GOLD" ring.

I found this white "gold" ring with a mark of 926 and ZF markings. I cant see what the ZF means.

It looks like 926? white gold which means its European which is 22K white gold?

Is this gold plated or solid gold?

Thanks for looking. HH

That ring looks like sterling to me...

tonym · Nov 5, 2014

.925 sterling would be my guess (solid)

ParkHunter · Nov 5, 2014

Pretty sure that says .925 (sterling).

Sometimes the "5" looks like a 6 or other numbers or letters.

But great find!

Thank you for keeping me honest. It was so hard to take 20 different pics of the mark. I just had to get some opinions. But I learned that there is 926 marks.those do look like 925. Oh well. Next time! Thanks

Looks sterling to me, but nice looking ring.

What VDI? In the 80's?

You know gold would be much lower. ..50's!

Such am easy mistake. Some of those marks are small and worn out making it hard.

Silver hits high. Gold swings low AND THE TRUMPETS THEY GO Dund dun dun dun dun dun.

Awesome ring, congrats on the sterling!!!

It would be impossible to have 22k white gold.. Pure 24k gold is yellow, by the time you mix in enough silver or nickel to make it white it drops the karat down to at least 18K ish... And even 14k is a little yellow compared to 10k white gold from what I have seen....
