May have found my first Platinum ring

May have found my first Platinum ring **update**

to it to a jeweler and indeed it's silver!

I found this ring yesterday. I didn't think much of it when I found it, just put it in the pouch thinking it was silver. When I got back to the car I looked at it with the loupe. It has 950 stamped in it. However, there are several CZ stones in it which kinda has me puzzled. Why would someone put fake stones in a platinum ring?

dc426, that is a beauty!

I think if there are cz's put into gold rings, then they may also be used in Plat. rings.

Terrific find!

Once I found a nice 18 K ring and was surprized it had a CZ in it.Nice find anyway.

Is it a high or midtone on your CZ21?

 

[dc426]

was a mid tone

 

[lookindown]

Looking like plat...I hope so.

I believe this was meant to deceive the purchaser. It is silver yet marked .950 and has CZ. I am willing to bet it was sold as a platinum and diamond ring originally. At least its silver.
