<p>[QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4288801, member: 19137"]Nice ring <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Circa 19th century IMHO. Unisex in my opinion - could be worn by a woman or a man. Definitely solid rose gold based upon the wear with no brassing. It's testing 9K which means, in my opinion, it was either sold as 10K or more. Under karat is the norm. i.e. a ring marked 9ct will almost always show in the 8K gold range using a niton xl2 for testing. Some rings sold as 14 or 18k can test as low as 9K which really stinks if you are the buyer of said ring at 14 or 18k prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
