The ring is in good condition. It is stamped '9CT' and in our opinion the shank would test as gold, the head may be gilt metal. Gross weight 5.8 grams. Condition Report made 21st March 2017. The panel is behind glass and with a closed back, unable to remove for closer inspection, possibly ivory/metal but cannot be sure.
