Message:: [QUOTE="MTswirls, post: 894186, member: 10594"]This ring belonged to my grandmother so I believe it's an antique, but I'd like to have a better idea of its age. I'm puzzled about what type of gemstone this might be. It's not very evident from the photos, but the stone is opaque. It also has quite a few scratches and cracks so whatever type of stone it is, it's not very resistant to damage. The clear stones are diamonds and one of the diamonds is missing- see the lower right corner of the ring in the photos. Does anyone know if it would be very difficult for a jeweler to put a new diamond into the prong setting? I'm not sure if it's worth the expense as it doesn't stand out too much. The inside of the ring is stamped "K18". I thought it was a little odd that the K came before the 18 because I havent seen that before.
