Love the yellow stuff... But help with a hallmark? Anyone? THANKS!

Me & my huntin' pal hit a local elementary school. (Early 60's) His Tesoro is a bit of a ring magnet and he pulled this little beauty. Definitely yellow, but unsure of the karat, and not sure I want to grind it anywhere... Could that 99 possibly mean 24K?! Sure is bendy and small and old... Other marks are tough to see... I'll try to get a better picture up.

Thanks for your consideration!

It may mean its 24k. 99% gold? I'm not an expert,so don't put too much faith in my guess.

Only one way to tell the kt, acid test or take it to a jeweler. It is rare to make jewelry out of pure gold because it is so soft. However there are a few out there that do it. It's definitely Au.

Awsome ring - hope it's pure

Man , the color looks spot on - the surface looks right for 24k - what are the other hallmarks ?

Looks lke 24k. Not that uncommon in the Asian, middle eastern and north African communities. I work for an apartment complex with a large Eritrean population and those folks like it pure gold.

You are correct. Most of the higher 22-24k jewelry comes from the east.

awesome finds- I bet you're stoked!

That looks like High Grade Gold There! Hope it is 24 karat. If it is bendy it probably is. Great Find!

 

[DFW_THer]

Thanks for the comments! I added some larger pictures. Hope it's pure... Maybe you can see the hallmarks better...
