Found my first ring!

[Sand Gnat]

Found my first ring yesterday while working the surf. I was about waist deep and found it on the edge of a shell bed. It appears to be 10k with a single stone of some sort set in it. I haven't had a chance to clean it yet. This is also my first post. Hopefully I will have many more.

Thanks, I'm not sure on how to identify the stone short of a diamond tester.
