The verdict is in. 14k white gold with 14k yellow gold plating!

Kapi · Jul 22, 2014

Took her to two different jewelers. According to both jewelers this ring is 14k white gold with 14k yellow gold plating. She holds 14 real diamonds though one is missing.

This design was popular in the mid 1900s. Both jewelers think someone didn't like the white gold and had it plated to be yellow gold.

One wants 45 dollars to replace the lost diamond, the other wants 50. I asked how much they'd give me for the entire ring as is. 40 bucks. I think I may invest some day in a diamond and wear this one. It's kind of growing on me.

The $40 offer seems low to me. Especially if they want up to $50 to replace one stone. But a cool find none-the-less! :cool:

If you know how much it weighs in grams we can tell you what it's worth in gold. congrats!

Kapi · Jul 22, 2014

It's 2.0 grams. I have the link to the calculator

49.13? for 2.0 grams of 14k white gold.

I got a small cup of real diamonds. I head your way one day you can pick a couple out if they'll fit. On the house

Someone must have some chips you can try out, then squeeze one into that thing............

Anyone? :

I agree with the Capt, put a few bucks into it and it will look like new and enjoy it! :cool:

Congrats! Looks great I think thats a keeper!!

Great to hear! Did you try going to Nettles Fine Jewelry in St. Aug?

You could also go to one of the www.jaxgemandmineral.org meetings and ask them to set a stone. Heck, it only takes a few seconds.

Very Nice yellow. white gold...

Canerat · Jul 23, 2014

Nice old style ring, the gold plating on it would have confused the hell out of me.
You're lucky it looks well made, if it looked trashy it would possibly end up with the rest of your fakes.
Well done.

The verdict is in. 14k white gold with 14k yellow gold plating!
