Nice find congrats I am still looking for my first plat ring

 

[Trent67]

Thanks a lot guys. Hey, I have a question. This thing is stamped "12 PLAT" and is real heavy. It has 4 diamonds set in it. At least i think they are diamonds. What would the 12 mean on the stamp. I have done some research and nothing comes up with a 12 for platinum.

Nice find congrats I am still looking for my first plat ring

Me too BlueD! It seems to elude me!

Could it mean size 12? It's possible. Lucky find with plat.

Trent....look at that "12" very closely, first make sure it isn't "1.2" or ".12" or even "12." In high grade diamond rings it isn't uncommon for the total cwt of the diamond/diamonds to be inscribed or stamped inside the ring right along with the metal type & purity. Each manufacture sometimes having his own design for doing this. I've never seen just a plain "12" or any other single number standing alone for this cwt but that's not to say it isn't entirely possible that a manufacturer isn't utilizing such a means. The "PLAT" should stand for platinum but in recent years there have been a lot of platinum plated rings coming out of China, these base metals usually being silver. Odds are, if the diamonds test real then you have a real prize, and if not then it is most likely a faker. If you don't own a tester a jeweler can test the ring & stone for you rather quickly and usually at no charge. Hope this helps.

It helps a lot, thank you bigscoop. It sure looks like a 12. I'm gonna try to get a pic of it under a loupe and post it. This sucker is big and heavy!

Hey Trent congrats on the ring. The 12 stamp reminds me of the 16 stamp on my first 14k ring it stood for the size. HH

Nice Trent ! You are on a roll man!
I could be wrong but I don't think you gotta worry about fake diamonds being set into Platinum.
If it says Plat (which it does) and it's heavy... Then be happy and enjoy because it's highly unlikely to be fake. Congratulations

Nice ring. Good for you.
If it was December I would say you covered the
"12 days of Christmas" with that one ring.
