Found this ring hunting along a path in one of the local parks. The VDI was jumpy from 12-23, and was shallow so I almost didn't dig it. I saw the diamonds and thought I had real white gold prize. pretty sure the tiny diamonds are genuine but I had to research the mark as I had never heard of P4SR. Turns out is is an alloy of mostly silver, with a bit of platinum, palladium, and gold thrown in for good measure. Not a junker, but not exactly adding much to my retirement fund either. Anyone else ever dig a ring with this alloy?

Basically fake platinum. It's an alloy of mainly low-quality metals which mimic the look of platinum or gold.
 
From the net.

P4SR is a metal alloy containing 80% silver, 1-3% gold or platinum and about 6% of palladium. The remaining metals are somewhat of a mystery. While P4SR jewelry may look or feel like platinum or white gold jewelry, it contains minimal amounts of them.

I have one if found. But i dont remember where i stashed. it.

Nice ring, regardless! Polish it up!
