The marking "18k HGF" on a ring indicates that the piece is made of 18-karat gold, which contains 75% pure gold and 25% other metals for durability. The "HGF" typically stands for "Heavy Gold Filled," meaning that the ring has a significant layer of gold bonded to a base metal, providing a gold-like appearance at a more affordable price. This combination offers the look of solid gold without the full cost, making it a popular choice for jewelry.
It could mean 18 karat "hollow gold filled". I'm not familiar with a manufacturer's hallmark that is "HGF".
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.

Better to lose a 9k gold ring than a 18k one ! 18k is purer gold than 9k.
This means that the ring is matt gold electroplated. The 18k is the amount of gold that is found in the ring.
its only 18k gold plated, not full gold This could be incorrect. If the ring has 18K/PLAT then the ring is 18K gold with some platinum. Probably to hold the diamond.
