Gold is bought and sold based on the weight - be it per ounce or per gram. The ring would have to be weighed and the price calculated based on the price of gold that day.

It is the quantity of Gold which is applied on the ring.
10K gold contains 10 parts gold and 14 parts another metal(s), making it 41.7% gold. 10K gold is the minimum karat designation that can still be called gold in the US. bmd is the symbol for Bermudan dollar (the currency in Bermuda) its where the price of gold is set .
it means the stainless steel ring has a 10k gold section, probably in the form of a thin layer 10k gold stripe. the gold on the ring will not be a significant amount compared to the weight of the stainless steel part.
In newer designs Ive seen where Ster/10K indicates that the ring is sterling silver, plated with 10K gold. In older designs, the 2 stamps usually mean that part of the ring is sterling and part of the ring is 10K gold.
An ounce of 10K gold is around 452.00 dollars right now. The price of gold goes up and down daily.
"It means Gold Rolled Plate, it is not solid gold but plated in 10k." thats not correct
it means it is 10 carat gold ring
A ring to be considered gold must be 10k or above and stamped inside the band of the ring 10k, 14k, 18k. If it isn't stamped more than likely it is not real gold. If in doubt about the value of a ring take it to a jeweler who can tell you about it.
