I got this ring at an estate sale, didn't pay much. Got a feeling its not authentic, just because of the way the setting is and the diamond patterns? Looking for advice from the pros here as you guys know your stuff! I've also added photos of the hallmarks but I really cannot make them out!! I have no jeweller near me so thought I would ask here first before I take to a jeweller which is hours from me unfortunately.
Let me know what you think please. All advice is very much appreciated

Not sure what you mean by authentic? Are you asking if they are diamonds? Are you looking for the approximate age?

Sorry, I ment by if the stones look real ect. And if the ring itself look real as the setting / style looks uneven.

To me personally, Yes this ring appears to be 14k white gold & the stones do look like diamonds, although nobody here can tell you with certainty. It's best you go visit a jeweler where they can use a diamond tester properly and do a scratch test on the back of the band to test the gold.

But yes, I'd bet my bottom it's 14k & diamonds. Hope you got a great deal! Those are always fun! (:
 
I’m no expert but they don’t scream fake. I would take it to a jeweler and have them test them, that will give you peace of mind. Personally I take my jewelry to a pawn shop but not everyone is comfortable with that route.

ETA: several of the prongs are worn so I would definitely have a jeweler give it a good once over so you don’t lose a stone.
 
Gives me a 70's vibe :)
 
The center looks like moissanite to me.
 
Hard to tell from photos. Looks like diamond and white gold to me

How can I tell between mossanite & diamond? So I know for next time :) thankyou!
Also may just send off to my jeweller to check it over for me.
