Tested 3 times for 14k, mark faded slightly but did not vanish. Tested 1 time for 18k, mark vanished immediately. I am listing the ring as 12k gold, but it is possibly 14k. The history of carved intaglio cameo rings involves the use of hardstones to create seals and jewelry that dates back to ancient times. Ancient Sumerians created the first cameos, which were often used as seals. Ancient Greeks used cameos as currency and in the Roman Empire cameos were popular and often used as signet rings.
