Marking Info?

[Sand Scoop]

Today I found a ladies gold ring with what looks like a nice size diamond. Instead of having a 10 or 14K there is a number 417. It looks like gold,sounds like gold and the meter reads 130 the same as other gold rings I've found. Anyone help me out on this.

Hi, Sand Scoop. The number 417 is 10K. Sounds like a nice find. Hope the stone is real.

I was thinking the same thing. I'll have to take it to a jewlery store and have them check it out.
