If you are looking for a historic and antique ring - this ring has hallmarks that make it quite interesting. The ring is hallmarked on the inside of the shank as 250. This indicates that the ring is 6K gold.
That means that 6 parts of 24 are gold (6 / 24 = 250) or 25% of the ring is gold. The other parts may be copper or other such alloys, as there is a rosy or bronzy look to the metal.
The most important thing to look for is the purity grade. Gold purity grade can range from 250 (low purity) to 999 (high purity). So 999 means the Gold purity is 99.9% or higher.
This ring dates to the early 1900s. The deep red stones are synthetic rubies. Rubies have been lab created since 1837, and in 1877 stones were created that were large enough to be cut and sold commercially.
There rubies would have been some of the earliest lab created rubies. The synthetic rubies are secure in a bezel setting.
