[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2942669, member: 8708"]Silver ring with 375 gold accents on the prongs. Do these marks tell me anything other than the metal purity? Is one a date or makers mark? I have googled and got bogged down in pages of conflicting information!. It doesn’t look particularly well made- black marks that don’t seem to want to polish off although I haven’t tried hard yet. Unsure what the stone is but not glass. I don’t want to scrap without knowing more about it but is there a scrap value when a small amount of gold gold is mixed with silver or not?. 375 mark looks like a Swallow 925 is a birds head and jellyfish like Chinese characters! Thankyou for looking [ATTACH=full]287276[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287280[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]287282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
