The earliest coins of ancient Asia Minor and many Byzantine issues were struck in this metal." So, you could go out and buy a bunch of ancient coins, and have your ring cast from them.

Great idea Abrasha!
Email Frank through http://www.albany.net/~fr/ and tell him you are NOT interested in the coins for numismatic value - just the electrum alloy itself. See what he can do for you. He helped me with a jewelry project once. No other connection,blah,blah. Keep his correspondence, take some photos before and after the casting. Voila real electrum ring now with 'provenance'.
