It means that the ring is real 18 karat gold and it's very old
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.
18 carat is better than 14 carat. 24 carat is pure gold. 18 out of 24 is 75% gold the rest is made up of silver.

18KT Gold Electroplate. The rings base metal is electroplated with 18 kt gold.
18 KGL means it is base metal layered in 18K gold - or dipped in gold. It is NOT solid gold.
This is not a solid gold ring. The structure of the ring is made of another metal. Through electroplating a very thin layer of gold is adhered to the outside of the ring. The coating is 18k, and is white in color. These rings can be quite beautiful, but do not have gold value.

Private owners seeking to sell gold jewelry such as 18 carat gold rings have a couple of options. There are pawn shops and coin galleries that frequently buy these items to refine the gold. Other options are selling them on sites such as Amazon or eBay.
Copper and Gold alloys are commonly used in "gold rings" using this logic "For example, alloys which are mixed 14 parts gold to 10 parts alloy create 14-karat gold, 18 parts gold to 6 parts alloy creates 18 karat, and so on." Copper oxidizes to green. Using ammonia solution (see this site) to clean "gold rings" to get rid of the grime is used a lot.
Yes, Lane Bryant does make and sell silver gold rings set with 18 karat diamonds. They have many different combinations of metals and precious stones for you to choose from.
24 karat gold is pure gold. So, 18 kt gold is 18/24th's pure or roughly 75% pure gold. If Gold is selling for $1000 an ounce, $750 an ounce might be a fair price for 18 Kt gold. Much of the gold used in jewelry though has other materials that are valuable. Platinum is in much of this gold (as an example). If this is the case $990 an ounce for this gold might still be very low in terms of real value. The best method is to take your gold to a local appraiser and get a fair market evaluation. NEVER send your gold to a broker in the mail, unless you don't care what you get for it.
