You are correct about my price being wrong. It is solid gold. I remembered that we got it for the price of the gold because it was done by a jeweler friend of ours. I thought that gold was about $16 an ounce back then. We bought two rings one for my twin brother and one for me. I guess they were about $32 each, not for the pair.
I haven't worn it for years -- decades actually. I'm not comfortable wearing any watches, rings, necklaces. And don't even mention earrings.
