Better to lose a 9k gold ring than a 18k one ! 18k is purer gold than 9k.
It means that it's cheap, not real gold or that the gold plating is so thin that it's wearing off.
your friend might have a problem wearing a pure gold ring because if someone bought it for her she might not like having someone spend that much money on her or it might just be she doesnt like wearing gold jewellery but the main problem is that pure gold is way too soft for someone to wear. if you had pure gold you could easily squish it in your hand
IDK, but he is now wearing a plain gold band on the ring finger of his left hand.
nine 24th of the weight. Pure gold is 24 carat. The dilution through the addition of base metals makes the gold more hard wearing but reduces the cost. If the ring weighs 24 grammes only 9 grammes will be gold. The rest will be base metals. In an 18 carat ring weighing 24 grammes 18 grammes will be gold.
You may want to have that ring checked by a reputable jeweler. It sounds like you have a copper ring plated in white gold and the plating has worn off the underside and is oxidizing from the moisture on your finger. White gold is Regular gold mixed with a white metal like nickel to change its color.
It's the purity of the gold, as a decimal fraction. .9999 means the ring is 99.99% pure. That surprises me a bit, though, because jewelry is normally not made of gold that fine because it would be too soft for normal wearing.
(This applies to silver, I'm not sure about gold.) If you are wearing a fake silver ring, after wearing it for about half an hour you will see that your finger where the ring has been has gone a bit green. It will eventually go back to it's original colour though. Also if you go to any shop which sells real gold and silver they should be able to tell you if it is real or not.
Nothing platinum is a really good metal is strong it will stay the same
No, she's still wearing it. She was seen wearing her engagement ring just yesterday.
If the 'B' comes before the 10k it's a maker mark, after the 10k it's gold over something else. I have a gold ring marked ( B10k ) it's real 10kt I've been wearing it for years now and no change. But mine is Victorian pretty old.
A platinum ring will wear away the plating of a white gold ring if worn on the same finger because platinum is a stronger and more durable metal than white gold.
