<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 2193306, member: 10012"]I would definitely be leery of this ring. The diamonds look mine cut or rough stones and the ring is yellow and white gold or platinum.Yes, metalsmiths knew how to make white gold but it was really not "in" until queen Victoria died. Platinum was out and regarded as undesirable until it became useful in the science arena of the latter half of the 19th century. I see quite a few rings on ebay that the sellers are touting as "antique"; "Victorian"; or "Georgian" with rough diamonds. Be aware.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
