UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories The Honor Ring Forum TK Ring Microanalysys

The analysys based on microscope revealed details that fakes can�t show for several different reasons:

1) measurements are the first step: cast fakes loose a variable % in dimension (but also heavily worn ring can loose their original dimensions);

2) types of metals used for soldering: cast fakes usually don�t have 2 (or more!) different types of metal;


Cast rings can't have micro areas with sharp details in relief or small fissures because the melting process compact metal. Only originals can.
These areas aren't visible with a normal magnifier or with eyes.
Below a comparison of the same area from the ring in question and a top fake.
