Well I was working down in Santa Monica today and got off at about 1pm and because I was across the street from the beach. It only seemed logical that I should give it a try. About an hour into the hunt I found my first 18k white gold ring. And it's surrounded in little diamonds. I'm so stoked. �� image.jpeg . The ring has an inscription inside but I can't read it. Does anyone recognize the hallmark

Congratz! I dug 2 rings marked 18k HGE in a 8 day span. Turns out HGE stands for hard gold electroplated. So, I still don't have an 18k. bah.

However, yours is a Beauty!

Last night I found out the ring was a spinner. It had a bunch of sand inside it and wouldn't allow it to spin. Today I took it with me for my Christmas shopping and found out the stones are not real but it is 18k. Bummer about the stones. O well that just means I keep looking.

That's a sharp looking ring! When I first saw it, appeared to be a spinner. Bummer ice is not real. 18k makes you a winner regardless! Congrats

That would have been HEAVY Gold Electroplated........... but they are tear jerkers no matter the acronym. Ive got a few 18K..... but all are yellow gold. Nice..... looks heavy as well. One beautiful find.
