It means that you were either given a ring that is not gold at all or it may be gold plated, but usually this means that it is totally silver.

good chance it means 10k gold filled but you can always take it to a pawn or jewelry store to have it gold tested
B&F for Baden & Foss, NY, NY circa 1940-1950's I believe.

It means it is 9 carat gold assayed in Birmingham, England. The F denotes which year it was hallmarked - depending on the style of the F you can work out the year.

The part where you should take it to a gold buyer and have it tested is correct. The part where they think it is filled may not be correct. I have here a ring I just purchased that says "10k F" I have tested the ring and it is pure 10k gold. No filled or plating. I attribute this to the makers mark and there is a symbol after the f. Also when gold if filled the marking would more than likely be GF and not F. Hope this helps!

I just bought a ring with that stamping. It shows who the maker is. My ring is a gold with opals. What I don't know is who that maker is, does anyone?
925 Italy means your bracelet was: made in Italy, it's 92.5% pure sterling silver, 7.5% infused alloy metal (possibly copper) and gold plated. -JagiMonster I believe that the above answer is correct for the most part, however since it was made in Italy and it is 925 sterling, the gold could be gold filled or vermeil both of which are much, much better than gold plated. You would have to ask a jewler. I know that there is an FAS jewelry school in Ireland. They may have one in Italy as well but I'm not certain.
If the "A" is set at an angle, it is more likely not an A after all, but a G. Fredrick Goldman is a ring manufacturer that uses the "FG" jewelers mark. The F is vertical and the G is slanted or stylized.
The letters and numbers "18 kt G F A" engraved on a ring indicate that the ring is made of 18 karat gold and the letters G F and A stand for the gold\'s purity fineness and alloy type respectively. In order:18 karat gold means the ring is composed of 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal such as silver nickel palladium or zinc.The letter G stands for the gold\'s purity which is usually between 375 and 999 parts per thousand. The letter G indicates the gold is 750 parts per thousand or 75% pure.The letter F stands for the gold\'s fineness which is measured in parts per thousand. In this case the letter F indicates the gold is 750 parts per thousand or 75% fine.The letter A stands for the type of alloy used to combine the gold with the other metal. In this case the letter A indicates that the alloy is pure gold.So the letters and numbers "18 kt G F A" engraved on a ring indicate that the ring is made of 18 karat gold that is 75% pure and 75% fine and the alloy used to combine the gold with the other metal is pure gold.
