<p>[QUOTE="Diggummup, post: 438851, member: 5877"]What are your thoughts on this ring? It has no markings on it. Appears handmade. It tests positive for 18k, it's white gold. I don't know what the stones are. They are semi transparent, simichrome tested, not bakelite, could be plastic, but for the life of me I couldn't think of why. Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE="Diggummup, post: 438851, member: 5877"]What are your thoughts on this ring? It has no markings on it. Appears handmade. It tests positive for 18k, it's white gold. I don't know what the stones are. They are semi transparent, simichrome tested, not bakelite, could be plastic, but for the life of me I couldn't think of why. Thanks in advance. Here it is... [ATTACH=full]154196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]154198[/ATTACH] I played with the lighting to emphasize the line going down the middle. Don't know what that's about. [ATTACH=full]154200[/ATTACH] It seems to be cut deep into the ring and then mostly filled. [ATTACH=full]154201[/ATTACH] It is a cast ring. [ATTACH=full]154202[/ATTACH] Here is the 18k solution after 5 minutes or so- [IMG]http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1132731&d=1426637313[/IMG] and the final test after several minutes, side by side with the platinum solution on the left, 18k on the right, notice the bronze type color on the left?
