What's up with this mark inside ring?

Three tot lots today. 1Q; 14 D; 15 N; 44 P, zipper pulls and then this.....

"Zales" "Plat" As you can plainly see, it sure doesn't look like Platinum. The diamonds tested negative.

I've found rings with Plat in them, I always took them for PLATE With the E worn off or just missing.

Although Zales is known for good Jewelry,
I'm sure they sell Plate as Come-ons too

Not confusing.....Most likely a ring some hustler pawned off on some unsuspecting sucker who thought he was being given a good deal.....Heard of it happening before. And I'd say good chance that's what your looking at.

That's the truth. I'm sure there are plenty of fakes out there and people know the name so they are less likely to question.

yes, a fake for sure.... just a couple of days ago a ring came through our shop that was clearly marked 14K but was actually gold plated silver
