[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3064584, member: 2844"]Well, you know about the import mark now, which together with a K mark means it wasn't made in Sweden, and wasn't offered for sale in Sweden before 1913.;) In my mind I had it down as a ca 1840s-1860s yellow gold and silver diamond ring (marks aside), until you said parts of it were yellow-plated white gold: That threw a spanner in the works for me, since white gold wasn't around until much later. From that moment my time frame went out the window, and all bets were off. If there hadn't been any white gold, you would have had your answer. I think you said later that it tested for yellow gold (no white gold?), which made things even more confusing. Then you went back to yellow plated white gold again. I could have the sequence wrong, but the yellow plated white gold thing is very confusing to me. I still find white gold on this ring hard to believe. But if you now think it is yellow gold and silver, no white gold, than the dates I mentioned above would be my conclusion.:)[/QUOTE]
