If most of the ring is gold it could have been marked legally as gold in many European countries. So far you are the only one who assumes it is a Frankenstein ring. To me it looks like a regular antique gold ring with silver for the diamond setting. If you check antique diamond rings you will see many are gold, with silver for the diamonds.[/QUOTE]
