When you keep looking every day to the same showcase, one day or the other, new item appear and you spot it, right away, my third day visit to value village in Quebec I hit the Jack Pot, maybe my first 2 item found are not valuable but when i ask the lady to show me this ring and i look at the mark, humm, I look at the the price tag, $24.99, I say,,,,,I TAKE IT, 18 K ring for this price, it's a steal and for testing, I stop at the Paw Shop after, I ask the guy how much he offer for 18K gold ring, weight 8 gram at $36 per gram, humm, $288.
Of corse, i did't sell it, could be more valuable then the gold price, i have to research it........
This ring is 1.25 inch high, .75 inch wide, weight 8 gr.
Many Thanks Everyone for Viewing.

Hmmm...I'm not sure about this ring at all. My first suspicion is with the stones, which are glued into the setting. My other suspicion (aside from the stamp) is that the shank is squared rather than rounded. I recommend taking to a jeweler. Pawn shops make mistakes. A long time friend, owner of a pawn shop, mistook a gold plated watch for a solid gold watch - he tested it, too - and paid out the amount for gold. Whoops....
Efesgirl, thank you for the comment and the love, I am not a specialist even a knowledge jewelry collector, I will definitely have this look at.
Much appreciated the comment and the love from you.

Alan - I've been drowning in jewelry for these past 40 years and still have things to learn!
Efesgirl, for sure I understand, as I still learning in Banking related collectable and artworks, no matter if I collected them for 36 years.
And I am sure appreciated that you take some of your time to explaining different aspect of jewelry to CW.
