Antique Russian Imperial 22K Gold Wedding Ring / Band 92 96% Gold RARE Stamp

  
Size 19mm (USA 9,5), 92-22K 6.39g(92)= If I counted correctly, then= 10.48(56) (14K). Although I found this information in many sources - I will provide it below. The 92nd test is one of the highest used by the jewelers of the Russian Empire. In the alloy of the alloy - 96% gold. The rest is a ligature, less noble metals are silver and copper in certain proportions. The ligature is needed in order to increase the mechanical strength of the joints.

By itself, the noble metal is quite soft, especially in large sizes, so it can be easily scratched and deformed. For example, it is enough to recall the way of storing gold coins - "by the tooth". They were bitten - and if dents remain on the surface, this is a real banknote, not a fake. The 92nd proof was used to make jewelry and jewelry intended for infrequent wear. From it were pectoral crosses, chains, "ceremonial" rings, brooches and earrings.

As a rule, products are made to order, individually according to design - and therefore are supplemented with family hallmarks.
