A little advice

[markkjones]

Found this one yesterday. 3 dives in a row with some butter (I think).

This has no stamp or markings, has a lot of heft and the stone is in desperate need of a polishing. I am guessing it is old. The slight pitting is confusing me though.

Fits my pinky nicely.

My advice is time to buy an acid test kit. They are cheap online.

What Kob said, I paid about $16 or $20. For my kit off of Amazon.

Gold doesn't pit... its either plated or brass...

Looks

Like gold plate .

Every time i find an old ring with the silver looking solder joint it ends up being brass. Sometimes brass passes the 10k acid test so its never 100% accurate testing gold.

I would say brass, style is the 50's? I have a few similar from beaches of that era. 3 are marked, one is not. I would do as said above, get a acid test to make sure. Third from the right was rusty, wish I had a picture of it before I cleaned it. I dug it and said junk, threw it in the regular pouch. Got home, noticed a gold glitter, and cleaned it.. I was surprised to see it marked n was real.

It does look very brassy, but I'm going against the group here and say it's gold. A pinky ring that's 9g with a stone, says gold to me.
Let us know once you acid test it!

Yes I'm saying gold too.
Remember that old 15ct wax seal ring I found in 2017.
Well it was pitted as well.

Here in the states jewelry was required to have a purity mark as of 1906 I believe. Appears to be plated brass. Ya Joes got all the cool stuff
