One thing I have learned about rings is that the manufacturers remake rings from time to time. Players loose rings, or years later want a 2nd copy. so as time goes on their our some deviations. When players reorder a ring, the player or team can decide on 10K or 14K, the ring makers will make them out of either gold content.

about half the 69 mets rings i have seen have the "baseball diamond" on top of the blue stone and the other half have it partially within the blue stone, making the diamond stick out less.

more and more rings today are made in different sizes with the players getting the biggest. back in the 50's-90's most rings came in one size. The 69 ring came in only one size.

Rings at different angles can trick you, but I believe in this case, there is an undisputable difference in the gap from the top to the engraving.

can you guys explain what you see when you mention awful angles and sloppy fit and finish? I would love to learn more how to tell a fake ring.

thanks!
