Understanding the VIC Ring Stamp: White Gold Identification & Gemstone Info


Question
Hi Bill & Sally,
I have been given a 5 stone ring that I am informed, is white gold however I have never seen a - VIC - stamp before, is there any such thing ?
It also has 3 small amethysts and 2 small diamonds ? on it.
There are no other markings

Answer
Hello Margaret and thank you for your inquiry. The "VIC" mark is not familiar to me, however it could be a manufacturer mark or design code. I did not find it listed in any of my resources. Since it is not marked gold you should probably have it tested.  I have included two sites below that may be interesting to you regarding gold jewelry and marks.  Just click on each or copy and paste into your browser address field and hit enter.

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance on this but enjoy your ring and good luck in your
research.
