I found the same ring that was given to me by my Japanese aunt, exactly the same ring, listed on eBay for $299.00. What is my best way to sell this ring and to whom to get the most money for it?
CZ stands for the company that made the ring. A "CZ" can also be cubic zircon that is a man made gem/diamond.
If it's been carved into the ring like initials, ot means that the piece of jewelry is real , for example if it were carved on a gold ring, it would mean that it's made of real gold
Anything faberge piece marked "Franklin Mint" is only worth about 1/2 of what you paid for it........
i have the same 18 marked 750 gold ring
I wondered that too... I had found a ring that I thought was costume jewelry until I relaized it had a stamp on the inside of the band with that same thing. A place on eBay is selling a ring and this is what they say about it: "marked "14K" & "DQ CZ" which is the mark of the QVC TV original seller of this ring; 14K solid gold QVC ladies CZ "Diamonique" ring". Not sure if this is 100% accurate or not, but it seems to make sense. Anybody know any better???
The compression ring will have a dot or indentation marking the top of the ring .
Franklin Mint
Probably not. The HGE mark is an indication of "heavy gold electroplate." This means that the ring is made of some metal over which a layer of gold is plated.
No. The 'b' you're referring to stands for 'before' which means you take off two karats. So actually the ring is a 12K ring made in china. This is because the Chinese have a different system for karats and their karats are worth 0.24% as much.

I haven't gotten an answer yet. I too have a ring with same stamps
How much is my frazzle dazzle ring worth
