<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 311129, member: 5213&quot;]Well, not sure what happened because it is gold. Definitely not silver, didn&#039;t know they rhodium plated silver but it&#039;s not sterling that&#039;s for sure. As for the Belais marking I did find similar examples whereas the mark was like mine. I will be emailing an antique jeweler who deals with Belais if they think the marking is legit!</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is indeed Belais I don&#039;t think it would be rhodium plated?, here is their alloy, &quot;The formulation specified in Belais&#039; patent resulted in an 18 karat white gold alloy composed of gold, <a href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/Zinc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/Zinc" rel="nofollow">zinc</a> and <a href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/Nickel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/Nickel" rel="nofollow">nickel</a> which thus avoided any problems with the platinum restrictions imposed by the war.&quot; I should be able to have the exact composition tomorrow[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
