Here are my images...can you help me figure out my ring's stamps now?

Am I not getting replies because I did not follow some posting rules or Is everybody busy?

Hi,

Patient is a virtue. I believe it read F 21 perhaps for fineness 21 karat
See;

The number 4 could by a ring size

Wow,thanks a bunch!

One more question ,If F21 4 is written ,is there a chance my ring is actually 18k?

Hi,

If written 21 K, not hallmarked i.e gold standard not tested by official body like assay office, yes your ring could by 21 K. Your local jewelry shop most likely can test the gold standard/fineness.

Ohhh.now I get it So the F214 is not a manufacturer stamp(which i thought it was ) but it tells the exact karatage of my ring right??
Obviously since 21k comes from saudi whuch is where i bought the ring

Hi,I got a feeling the stamp is actually arabic when you rread it upside down in magnifying glass because i notice the odd way the letters looks like
