It should be marked 800 without a point '.' Are the any other marks on it? I cann't tell them from your piccie. But it surely looks like gold.

Gold is still gold, no matter where in the world it originated.
Congratulations again plymouthian12

Nice Gold ring heres some infro on Portuguese gold Dd60

Gold jewelry in Portugual must by law be 19.2 karat pure, there fore the marking of 800 translates to 80% gold, or 19.2 parts out of 24 (24 parts being 24 karat gold, 100% pure). A lot of European gold jewelry is marked 750, which ranslates to 75% gold content, or 18K, 18 out of 24 parts gold. Gold in the US is typically 14K or 58.5% gold, which is represented by the mark 585, 417 is 10K, 41.7% gold

Higher gold content than most made in the US! Congratulations!

Then it must be relatively modern. I like high caratage items. But they are a very uncommon find in our part of the world.
