<p>[QUOTE="nifflertreasures, post: 509333, member: 9837"]I bought 87# of assorted jewelry at auction, and while combing through the tangled masses I discovered this ring. It kind of reminds me of the fancy fittings found on old Japanese swords. It has a coppery colored exterior, but the interior surface is a bright gold color. Around the outside it has a leaf sort of motif in gold and silver, with a single solder joint of silver color. I acid tested it to a minimum of 14 karat gold. It weighs 2.4 grams...It is wide but very thin. There is an unfamiliar stamped mark on the inside, and I was hoping some of the very knowledgeable people on this forum might be able to help identify it, as I have been unable to find a match online. Any information or advice is appreciated, thank you.[ATTACH=full]165743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165745[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
