this ring was sold to me as being made of 8k gold. maybe they meant 18k ? I won it on an online auction. It is rose gold. The pearls are 4mm, and the cushion cut diamond is a little bit over 4mm. It is marked inside the band with, I believe an A and 4.
Certainly 18k gold!
Color and quality are there!!!
In France this shape of ring is called "duchesse" but when googling you find mainly duchess Camilla, lol!

thank you for the information kyrantango. i will have to have the gold tested.
Super pretty... Love it.
Beautiful ring.
Stones and setting look old.
Are they fresh water pearls ? And those diamonds look pretty big !
Have you had it appraised ? Do you wear it ? Try a magnet first. U know that right ! If it sticks then it's not gold but if it does then definitely have it appraised ! Stay away from pawn shops !
Correction. ! If it magnetizes then it's not gold and visa versa ! Chances are greater of it to being the real thing. But then not all metal is magnetic too so don't be fooled Celery bout that ! :..:"
I love pearls ! There so cool !
i was unable to see the ring in person, because i got this from an online auction. i probably paid more than i should have, $426, but i don't regret it. it was listed as an 8 karat gold ring with pearls and rough-cut diamonds. they list every item as being tested for gold content and genuine diamonds. the pearls are 4mm, and the diamond is a cushion cut at a little over 4mm. i have not had it appraised. i have checked the gold with a magnet. it is non magnetic. i have done the tooth test with the pearls. i believe them to be genuine. they have a gritty texture when i rubbed them against my teeth. the gold is rose gold. i am wearing it now. i don't wear it every day because i am worried about damaging the pearls or losing one of the side diamonds. i work in a factory, but i wear gloves, but i still worry about this one.i probably won't have it appraised, they charge too much to do that. i am a divorced mother of a 6 year old little girl. i don't have a lot of money, but occaisionally i will get something nice for myself. my collection is pretty small, but i have so much love and appreciation for antique jewelry. especially rings! thank you all for the advice/ love.
What a very attractive ring!You have great taste:)
Beautiful ring..so Art Deco looking..:-)
