<p>[QUOTE="BMRT, post: 2013489, member: 10892"]While it says 16k I’m still going with the issue with casting. Looking at the inside of both the yellow gold & white gold, the yellow gold is much “cleaner” on the inside of the design. When I ran my scratch test kit the scrapings on the scratch stone showed some material loss on the 18k acid solution. The rings material held strong under 10k & 14k. I even did the 22k just as a balance and that one was instantly disolved. [ATTACH=full]248296[/ATTACH]At least, vintage or not, it appears marked correctly? The diamond reader likes the stone too and considering what I paid I am very much alright with my new “vintage inspired” ring!</p><p><br /></p><p>This was one that would have been very hard to figure out from listing pictures so I took the gamble. As always, I appreciate everyone’s collective knowledge![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
