K18 by: Kima
Japanese jewelers use K18 for gold standard of 18 carat. It is not filled, or plated. Look for an "M" in a shell... that would be a Mikimoto hallmark. Beautiful ring!

Hi Gwen
the only way you are going to know if it is 18 k solid gold for certain, is to get the ring tested by your local jeweler.
The ring looks beautiful, with the three cultured pearls running down the length of the finger; the gold work surrounding the pearls is luxurious and interesting. It gives the ring the appearance of being handcrafted. We would loved to have seen a close-up image of this cultured pearl ring, although we understand it is not always possible.
