Newly thrifted ring

[Freshpeachez]

I love that the cut part of the pearl is visible underneath!! Shows that it’s pink all the way through. Surface of the pearl is a kind of “matte” texture. Ring is stamped 925.

Others know better than I, but it looks like a freshwater "button" pearl. I love the color combo & design! Than one, either the tooth test or against another known real pearl. If you start buying thrift store gold or silver... there are fake marks...especially 925... so you want to get a silver & gold acid test kit. 14k & 18k with stone is the cheapest...18k will test silver 925 & turns bright blue. 14k tests 14k & 10k (that looks different & you will need to watch youtubes for that look.) I have several gold fake marks & a sackful of fake silver 925... I have a a number of button pearl earrings with silver posts & some with silver looking posts...but not 925.

It looks like a freshwater pearl to me, too. Nice ring. Love your manicure. Very spring like. I might steal it.

I loved the pink and gold as well! I’ve been considering buying a testing kit, but as long as I’m paying thrift store prices and I wear what I buy it doesn’t matter that much to me if it’s gold or silver or something else. As long as the pearl is genuine! Which, this one is! Passed the tooth test.
