DAC Stamp & Pink Stone: Is It Real Gold & Tourmaline?

Question
i found a ring with the stamp dac and its pink like a Tourmaline (Pink)
how do i know if its real or fake. know where on the ring does it state its real gold. its very sparkerly

Answer
HI RENEE,

THE DAC STAMP DOESN'T HAVE ANY VALUE SIGNIFICANCE AND USUALLY IF IT IS GOLD IT WILL HAVE A QUALITY STAMP LIKE 14K ON IT. NOT NECESSARILY SO BUT USUALLY. TO SEE IF THE STONE IS REAL YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO A GEMOLOGIST TO HAVE IT EVALUATED OR IDENTIFIED. NORMALLY EVEN A SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE LIKE TOURMALINE IS NOT SET IN A RING THAT IS AT LEAST SILVER AND MORE LIKELY GOLD. TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL JEWELER AND GET HIS/HER OPINION. GOOD LUCK.
