18k HGE on a ring signifies '18 karat heavy gold electroplate.' While it suggests a gold coating, the value is primarily associated with the underlying base metal rather than the gold layer, making it less valuable than solid gold jewelry.

H.G.E. = Heavy Gold Electroplated = worthless.......sorry, but trust me you will not be able to get any money for any jewelry that is gold plated, electroplated, rolled gold, or anything like that...the only things worth selling, or really the only things any stores will even consider buying, is straight up 14kt, 18kt, 24kt, etc.. because those are real gold..plated pieces are worthless to gold buyers

How much would a 18k gold HGE ring weighing at 7.9g worth?

HGE stands for heavy gold elctroplate, which means that your ring is not gold, it only has a microscopic ammount of gold ontop of some worthless metal. Even if it was gold, you didn't include the weight. People don't buy gold rings because they are collectable or unique, they buy them for EXACTLY how much GOLD is in them, they want the GOLD! There are so many of these questions on here, asking how much is my gold ring worth... How are we supposed to know if you don't include the WEIGHT of the ring??!!

It's a ring 18 kt HGE real gold?

If something is stamped "18K HGE" it is not real gold. The letters "HGE" is a quality mark used for costume jewelry, and it stands for "Heavy Gold Electroplate". The item that is electroplated has a very thin layer of gold that has been applied to its base metal, which is usually brass. This is considered "costume" jewelry since it is not gold through and through. 18KT HGE is absolutely REAL gold and in fact, the electroplating on HGE is "heavy" therefore it is quite good quality. Just because the ring is not solid gold doesn't mean the gold isn't real. The peice you have, if it appears in good condition, is very good quality.
