[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 846404, member: 2844"]It is a real looker, Ulil. It was probably new when your mother gave it to you. That pale pink gold was out of fashion for a long time and has only made a comeback over the last few decades. And rightly so, it is very pretty, and goes well with the rubies. I'm with Cheryl, KP for the caratage + plumb gold, as close to the indicated fineness as you can get. I believe it is a specific American mark. In the US an indicated fineness can have minute variations either way, plumb gold is the most accurate. In many other countries the fineness should be at least the indicated fineness, and is usually slightly over. The stones look like rubies to me, and as Marie said, they come in different grades. These don't look like top grade, they rarely are, and I wouldn't expect it together with those tiny diamonds. You can have them tested.[/QUOTE]
