Reply with quote | #3 | Wow - a six silver hunt is fantastic!
Here's a little note on Duratone:
"Jostens introduced its first low-cost alternative to gold, a mix of silver and gold called Duratone, during the Depression."
I couldn't find anything that gave a specific carat rating, but would imagine it's no more than 10K. |

Reply with quote | #4 | I am guessing less than 10k or it would be marked 10k. These were found in the water and the ring wasn't tarnished at all. |
