[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 221023, member: 4012"] That's a bit weird - titanium is a notably lightweight metal, only half the weight of silver and a fifth the weight of gold. Are you sure it isn't a gold ring with a titanium band around it, which seem to be quite a popular style? With those smoothly rounded edges, it doesn't look like a cheap toy ring, but it would be unusual to have no writing indicating the precious metal content of a silver ring, usually on the inside of the band in tiny numerals/letters as [i]925[/i] or [i]Stg Sil[/i] or similar. These notations can get quite worn away over time, as silver is a pretty soft metal. You can test for silver with a small droplet of household bleach on the surface - silver will very quickly oxidise and blacken (you can polish the mark off afterwards). [/QUOTE]
