<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 2436681, member: 5398&quot;]I found this ring today at a thrift store for $9.99 minus a 20% off coupon. I couldn&#039;t find any markings on it, but suspected it might be solid gold. I used my gold testing kit for only the second time and I think it&#039;s 14k gold (the last photo shows the testing stone, so I&#039;m wondering if I&#039;m interpreting it correctly).</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked online for similar rings, and learned that Queen Victoria wore a buckle ring to represent her participation in the Order of Garter, and buckle jewelry was popular in both the Victorian and Georgian Eras.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are:&nbsp; (1)&nbsp; Is it unusual or suspicious for a a ring like this to be unmarked?&nbsp; (2) Can I assume from my test that it&#039;s solid 14k rose gold (last photo shows testing stone)?&nbsp; (3)&nbsp; Was it most likely made in England?&nbsp; (4)&nbsp; Is it from the Victorian era--early, mid or late -- or possibly Georgian era?&nbsp; (5) Is it a woman&#039;s ring, or could it have been a man&#039;s ring? The size is about 7 1/2 and weighs 26.7 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]264490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264493[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]264500[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
