[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 312788, member: 2844"]Gorgeous ring, Phaik. Since there are so many stones of this colour, we'd have to know the hardness and other details. It is probably best to take the ring to a jeweler to assess the stone. Gold fineness standards are different in different countries. Phaik is in Malaysia, which may have the same standard as India, 22k. So the jeweler friends aren't full of it, they just follow local regulations. The Arab world has a standard of 21k, most continental European countries have a standard of 14k - 19.2k, but the fineness is often higher. Germany accepts a minimum of 8k, the US 10, in both countries the fineness can be higher. The standard in the UK is 9k. So Phaik, take your pick, where would you like to sell?:D You could consider selling on etsy, you can attract international buyers more easily there than on the Malaysian ebay, for instance. There are many people around the world who don't mind your 14k and 18k at all.:happy:[/QUOTE]
