✅ SOLVED Help ID Ring

[Yookdew]

Today I was metal detecting an area where there had been a large rowing regatta over the weekend. I found a college ring and I am trying to confirm the maker of the ring and what type of metal it is made out of.

I have located what appears to be the exact same ring on the Jostens website. The ring I found is not marked with "Jostens" so I'm not sure if that is the maker or not. Link to the Jostens ring: https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/p...0301/#design/0

Also, there are no marks to identify the metal. It appears to be yellow gold and rang up with a VDI of 62 on my AT Pro. I have attached photos of the face of the ring and the markings inside the ring.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to Tnet.

Nice ring.

Jostens didn’t mark all of their rings with their name in full. They also used a “J in Diamond” mark, although it’s usually a cursive script letter. Nevertheless, I don’t doubt it to be from Jostens. The 'c' is just a copyright mark.

The “YE” mark stands for “Yellow Elite”, now trademarked by Jostens as “Solaris Elite”, which is a proprietary alloy containing silver, gold and other metals to maximise its hardness and scratch-resistance while still having a gold colour. It’s not carat (K) marked because it falls below the minimum 10K standard to be called “gold” in the US but should be 6K (25% gold).

That answers all my questions. Thanks Red-Coat!
