I found this gold ring the other day and posted it. It does not have the gold stamp on the inside so I took it in and they said it was 10k and only worth $47.00 at todays gold price. I think I will give it to my step daughter Candance scene there is a C in the middle. think for readin this post. PS I thaught gold was worth lots of money!!!!!

They probably wanted you to sell it to them for $47! BTW, nice ring! Do you know how much it weighs?

 

[SusanMN]

That is a lovely, lovely, old ring and may only be worth $47 in gold, but its true value is much higher than that. Hopefully your step daughter is old enough to appreciate such a beautiful piece of jewelry and the gift she is receiving.

Dave, it is 10k, what did it weigh?

Get a gold tester, weigh your gold, put the weight in the calculator, set the purity and see what it is worth, no need to take it to anyone in future to know it's worth.

I don't know if you have this website or one like it or not, so I posting hot link in case you need it. http://dendritics.com/scales/metal-calc.asp?WeightU=105&Units=gr&Alloy=14K&PrOzt=&CurrencyN=USD&Markup=0

10K?
I don't buy it.

It looks quite antique... I'll wager 22K

$47 is pathetic. I'd change to a more honest shop. LoL

Great find!

That ring is really a nice one and seems to be quite old...I'm just guessing but I'm pretty sure it's more than 10K. I'd get a 2nd opinion.

Get a 2nd opinion and if it is more then 10k I would confront the dealer that told you it was 10k and turn him i to the better business burial.....Matt

Found a gold ring.
Had it appraised. ($47.00)
Going to give it to step daughter.


PRICELESS!

Good idea giving it to your step daughter but I'de get a second opinion on price . My son eyeballed a 10k bracelet . And found out it was worth about $800.00 .

 

[lucky d]

better yet ....get an acid/gold test kit (ebay-under 20 bucks) then go to http://dendritics.com/scales/metal-calc.asp and find out it's worth for yourself.....if your ring is 10k, and it is worth 47 bucks, it should weigh approx. 2.5 d.w.t.....that is a nice ring, hope you find many more.....hh

 

[how u do n]

The ring is very very pretty.
There are lots of older rings that are 10kt.
If I am not mistaken it was in 1922 that all rings had to be marked.
So, the ring could be 87 years old and still be marked 10kt.
Also, I think 10kt means there is 41% gold in the ring.
And, if they offered $47 dollars for the ring the person was offering
a very fair price "if the ring weighs in at 2.5 dwt"
All in all it's a beautiful ring!!! and that is all that counts.

[finderzzs]

Very pretty ring, it is worth at least triple that amount as an Antiques signet ring. Congrats.

that is a beautiful ring !

 

[spartacus53]

No matter what the true value is one thing is certain, that is a lovely ring

 

[detector dave]

thank forall the post, by my findings at $ 47.00 =10k is $5.98 per gram that makes this ring 7.85 grams in waight. You all make sence that the ring looks old and couldbe worth more as and antique. I will hold off on giving it to my daughter untill I find out more about the ring. I am not sure she if she will keep it or sell it later. She is under 22 years old and thinks she has to sell every thing she can. Thanks for the post and I will try to find a gold test ket and see if she was telling the trouth. She did some sort of acid test on a block, I didnot understand what she did but she said 10k I thaught it was more.

One of several gold tests is an acid test on block. The color tones in your picture could make it appear to be a higher grade of gold. Personally if it was mine even at 10K I would keep it. I wouldn't give it to a relative that might pawn it at 1/3 of its worth in 6 months.
