[QUOTE="shamster, post: 9858591, member: 85821"]And I need to list these down to back up myself. These are the reasons I think they're authentic, particularly the two with more details: 1. I haven't see any other fakes of medieval/renaisaance era gold, only low-quality reproduction tagged so. I only see one seller of fake late medieval rings so far, and his listing are funny to look at. 2. It takes time, gold, stone, and skill to make one, and it costs a lot. And occasionally it sells, yes, but only one or two in a year or even longer. The market is way more smaller for this era compared to roman, viking or byzantine stuff. Even Thai workshops only fake roman and greek gold, selling fast at abnormally low price. Why keep faking more if they don't sell well? So personally, I think there's really no need to hand-fake expensive gold rings like these knowing not when it will pay back.[/QUOTE]
