Sorry about the let down...
I have been there many times.
You must have stopped breathing at first sight though.
Still a nice gift for a niece.

Kiana, that ring is a" Heart Stopper" for sure; I'm sorry that it did not test + for gold.

I've found plenty of those also, but there will be many more times that you will make up for this one with some real treasures.

I wish you the best, and nice goin' on the silver ring find@!
