his is a family heirloom ring handed down for at least five generations from eldest daughter to eldest daughter. It appears to be 10K gold and family oral history claims it originated in England and was custom ordered for the first bride who wore it.
The ring is a wedding band decorated with carved baskets of flowers. The only mark of any kind on the inside of the ring is: XXXX. I would appreciate any information anyone can supply about the origin, age, or goldsmith who make the ring.
It means that is it 18 kt gold. XXX = .750 or 18 kt. Hope that helps.
I had a similar issue several years ago and finally had to take the ring to a jeweler. 682, or any 3 digit number stamped on a gold or silver ring, refers the purity of the metal. So in your case, .682 fine gold or 14k gold.
I have NV and 8 stamped inside my 3 joined rings and they're bronze, silver and gold in colour, someone told me it stand for either Nevada Silver or the ring size for countries such as Australia.

A local jeweler will be best prepared to give you an estimate for the value of the ring, given an in-person evaluation.
The "3c" stamp on your gold ring likely indicates that the ring is made of 3 carat gold. This means that the ring is 75% pure gold, as 24 carat gold is considered 100% pure.

K3 on a ring typically refers to the purity of the metal used in the ring. In this case, K3 most likely means the ring is made of 14 karat white gold. The karat measurement indicates the ratio of pure gold to other metals in the alloy; 14 karat gold contains 58.5% pure gold. It is a common standard used in jewelry to denote the quality and value of the metal.
The "ep3" stamp on a gold ring likely indicates that the ring is gold-plated with a thickness of 3 microns. This means that a layer of gold, typically 3 microns thick, has been electroplated onto the surface of the ring. The stamp helps to indicate the quality and composition of the ring, with "ep3" specifically denoting the thickness of the gold plating.
Weigh the ring. If it is 24 carat gold then the ring is pure gold and all of the weight is gold If it is 22 carat gold then the ring is 22/24 gold and the weight of gold will be reduced by 1/12 Any other degree of pureness can be calculated similarly.... 18 carat gold is 75% gold, 12 carat is 50% gold and so on.
Ok well it has 3 dimonds in it heals up with yellow gold and it also has Lind prints on the inside
Given the description from the previous edit "I broke a chunk of gold of my ring when wearing it. Does this mean anything? It is an old ring, 3 generations" The ring probably broke simply because it was old. While gold is durable the ring was probably subjected to a fair deal of wear and tear over the course of three generations. Perhaps there was even a flaw or weakness in the metal from when it was first made into a ring.
2-3 grams is typically required.
Oh, dude, totally! So, a rectangular array is just a fancy way of saying a grid, right? If you want 10 Xs with 3 rows, you'd have 3 rows of Xs with 3 Xs in each row and then 1 lonely X in the last row. Voila! You've got yourself a rectangular array of 10 Xs with 3 rows. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
coated with silver 3 times but still only silver plated !
