Well yesterday I was surprised to see that the ring with an inscription was actually SS. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find what I thought initially was tungsten is 14K white gold.

It is made by Benchmark with the brushed or satin finish. It looked like tungsten and felt like tungsten till I got it home. 12 grams of 14K. The stones tested negative.

Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

I hope it is really gold. Some makers use a sand mold to pour the rings and it has the 14K in the mold. Test the ring to be sure.

Sound advice! I acid tested it 2 times just to make sure and it is 14K.
