    The best way to resolve your problem may be to drill a hole in the
    ring at the point where the stain is, tap it, and screw in a piece of
    gold wire made from the same alloy. The end of the wire can be chased
    down until it becomes invisible and 'welded' into the existing
    surface. I wouldn't drill right through the ring as it is more
    difficult to disguise the presence of a wire plug on a highly
    polished surface than on a decorated one. At least with this method
    you will have some certainty that you have completely and physically
    removed any internal source of the dark stain. 

Best Wishes,
