Understanding 18K Gold Rings & Diamond Identification


Question
Hello I have a ring I know nothing about. but it has
18k t6epad or 18k tgepad any ideas on what that means they are the only markings I can find
thank you

Answer
HI DEBBIE,

DID YOU FIND THIS RING? THE 18K DEFINITELY MEANS THERE IS 18K GOLD IN THIS RING BUT I THINK FROM THE STAMP IT MAY BE GOLD ELECTROPLATED. AND IN THAT CASE IF IT IS ELECTROPLATED THEN THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT DIAMONDS. WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING IT AND BEING ABLE TO TEST IT I MAY 100% WRONG, SO BEST TO TAKE IT TO A JEWELER TO SEE IF IT IS REAL. THEN I COULD MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS ON ITS STAMP AND VALUE.

THANKS

PETER
