  1. Gold is very very unreactive, im pretty sure mercury cant react with it.


  2. DIP THE RING IN WATER PREVIOUSLY BOILED WITH COMMON SALT IT WIORKS, OTHERWISE CONSULT NEAR BY JEWLER..):

  3. Mercury does not react with gold, but, mercury does dissolve gold. The gold of the ring is now in the mercury that rolled off.

    Polishing the ring will bring the surface shine back.

    Amalgam is the term for a mercury alloy that was formed.
