Absolutely even when I checked the inside, which was smooth, but had different color tones like there was a silver metal underneath and the gold plated had worn away, my old buddy. The leprechaun always told me check the inside if it’s smooth it’s 99% legit!!🍀Looks plated for sure. Most gold jewelry has a smooth, polished finish—no bumps or pits. You can see the under metal, probably copper.
Still can't tell, I have found gold jewelry is very hard to capture its real look in pictures. The original posted picture I would say it looks plated. As far as what it's plated over one has to have it in hand. I would acid test the ring with some deep scratches on the stone or I have cut rings in half just to see if the gold goes thru. Then I acid test the exposed metal on a stone. What camara are you using? Pictures must be small files for they seem to be a little pixilated.OBN?
I have found that anything that has the orange peel look to the metal is fake, but clearly the pitting and places of discoloration would say that this is NOT real!Hunting friend found this
What do you think plated or 14k as stamped?
