<p>[QUOTE="Kasemi, post: 4354953, member: 19961"]Hey guys! Just wanted to show you this ring that I purchased as "gold/silver ring with marcasites". I do not believe those a marcasites at all. They look like rose cut diamonds or possibly white sapphires to me. The space they are set in is closed as well. Maybe foiled? As for the metal, it does look like silver but it also bubbles heavily when put into hydrogen peroxide, which would indicate that it is platinum. (I cleaned the ring prior to testing of course). Any thoughts on age of the ring? There are no hallmarks or anything on it either. I have only seen art deco mixed-metal rings that were 9k or 18k gold and were paired with platinum. Did they commonly pair gold with silver as well? Either way its quite lovely and I got it for a great price.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]361975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]361978[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
