How can you tell the metal of a ring?
1 Answer
To tell the metal of a ring, examine the interior for purity markings. Researching the markings using trusted online resources can help you identify the material. For example, “925” indicates sterling silver, while “750” represents 18-karat gold. If you can't find purity markings or have difficulty reading them, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can help you identify materials. Explore a wide variety of rings on 1stDibs.
