What does 10k F mean inside a white gold ring?
good chance it means 10k gold filled but you can always take it to a pawn or jewelry store to have it gold tested. I am a gold buyer and the above answer is half correct. The part where you should take it to a gold buyer and have it tested is correct. The part where they think it is filled may not be correct. I have here a ring I just purchased that says "10k F" I have tested the ring and it is pure 10k gold. No filled or plating. I attribute this to the makers mark and there is a symbol after the f. Also when gold if filled the marking would more than likely be GF and not F. Hope this helps!
