    Symbols on the inside of my gold ring.
    18k, p10, f, de.
    What do they mean?
    Is the ring worth anything?

    I don't know what the rest of those symbols means other than the 18k, the 18k symbol means that it's a 18 karots gold ring, which means that it has more worthless metals than gold, and it's worth is between $100 USD to $140 USD, (I had a 18k gold neckless andI went to a jewlery store to see how much it's worht, and that's the price range they gave me). I could be wrong, so the best thing to do is check with your local jewlery store and they will be able to give you an accurate price.

    18k probably refers to the 18 karat purity

    De could have something to do with Germany, but it seems unlikely.

    What JZH that is such a lie. You need to go to a real gold professional because obviously a jewelry store is trying to scam u.

    The retailer from where you bought that ring can answer this better. Moreover the markings on ring indicate its manufacturer.

    Is there a symbol on the ring as well? Like a crown, eagle, castle, etc. This would be a good place to start, to find its origin and assay office.
