Popular Post cuniagau Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ok, I need a little help on this one. I recently dug a spinner ring on a beach. It appears to be a very wide (about 1/2 inch wide) silver inner ring with a gold outer ring with about 28 diamonds on it. There is a marking on the silver ring on the outside beneath the gold ring that says 925A2. It rang high on the Equinox when I found it so I assumed it was just a silver ring. But then I tested the diamonds and they tested positive. I have an AuRacle AGT1 Plus electronic gold/platinum tester that has been spot on testing 10K, 14K,18K as well as silver, SS, Tungsten, and other rings as NA. The tester keeps saying the silver ring is 18K and the spinner ring is 14K. I think that because the two rings are touching, it is giving me the wrong reading on the silver ring. There are no hallmarks on the inside of the silver ring be it does have a potential makers mark that looks sorta like a clover leaf and an inscription that appears to say Be Lovziends. I am attaching pics in the hopes that someone can tell me about this ring. The next to the last pic shows the 925A2 but is a bit blurry. Thanks for looking and any info would be greatly appreciated, Joe PS It air test 35 on the Equinox one way and 20 holding the ring the other. Again, I think that the two rings together are giving off mixed signals. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of the inner ring -- showing the hallmark, etc. -- sure looks gold to my eye, and quality at that. But others here are way more experienced than I. You should be hearing from them shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Googled, Binged, Yahooed and several other browsers and had come up empty handed. The white Rhodium explains part of why the electronic tester wasn't reading it correctly too. White Created Sapphires I guess read as diamonds too. Interesting! I will toss it into the silver pile now that I know it only has gold plating on part of it. 12.8g of silver is still a pretty good haul for a silver ring!

Skull diver Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This tendancy to make modern rings with "alternative"plated metals and fake stones is disgusting me?. How misappointing can be to find that beauty, to discover later it is next to a costume jewelry piece? Still a good find for you in the USA ? The silver price here is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
