Identify ring

[scooby_due]

I was hoping someone could help me identify/appraise this ring.

I don't even know if it is real gold.

There are no markings on the inside of the ring, it appears to be scratched out.  Would resizing do that?

The inside of the ring does look like gold though.   There is no wear.

Resizing would not make those marks.   Your best bet is a gold testing kit.

Yeah, I'm with @divwido  on this one, it probably is gold plated but please get it tested, a pawn shop can assist for a small fee or some don't even charge. A lot of mens rings will be 10k for the strength. The stone looks tigers eye also.

Thank you both

I guess I will just have to take it somewhere

I'm not going to spend money on a kit that I will only use once

And especially not on a ring that might not be worth anything

And I don't blame those kits are about $14 and up and then you have to replace the acids periodically.  You can do a quick check with a strong magnet, if it sticks, not good. Normally also, if the ring is getting resized, they will avoid the purity mark if they can on the ring as that can affect future selling of the ring.

     Best of luck to you.

Definitely not magnetic 

That was the first thing I checked 

Thanks!
