What Do You Think This Ring is Made Of?

Hit as a solid 12 on the Equinox 800. Not magnetic at all. My first thought was stainless steel, but it has lots of scratches on it. Didn't think stainless scratches like that? It weights 10g. What do you think? No markings at all.

EDIT: I tested it with acid. 18k acid stays. 22k acid eats it away.

Could it be white gold?

Possibly titanium?

Could be if it feels light. I found one last week. It looks silver when dug but didn't 'feel' right. At home I found the Titanium mark.

A density test could narrow it down.

Note in Table:
Gold alloy = 11 to 19
Titanium = 4.5
Silver = 10

I took it into a refinery for testing. It's stainless steel.

Probally 316 stainless which scratches easy and is acutely soft.
