Rare Find
This is a beautiful and unusual 18ct75% pure gold (or 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts other metals) More gold ring with a silverA metallic element which is malleable and ductile, and white in colour, making it ideal for use in jewellery. It is usually mixed with copper to improve its hardness.
