How can you tell the difference between 14kt gold and 14kt gold filled jewelry?

14 karats refers to the purity of gold. The term "14 karats", or "14 carats", gold originates from ancient times when carob seeds were used as a unit of measurement for gold. The seeds were noted for having a uniform weight and were used on the precision scales that measured the gold.The higher the number of karats, the more gold an item contains. For example:24K gold is pure gold.18K is 75% gold and contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloy.14K gold is 58.3% gold and contains 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy.12K gold is 50% gold and contains 12 parts gold and 12 parts alloy.10K gold is 41.7% gold and contains 10 parts gold and 14 parts alloy. 10K gold is the minimum karat that can be called "gold" in the United States.It is a layer of 10Kt or better gold mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of a supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness.In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product. Under FTC regulations, a product may be marked as 14, 12 or 10Kt Gold-Filled. Karat measurement of gold content must be part of the marking.These are minimum standards.Thus one might find 14/20GF or even 14 /10GF as a stamp to denote 1/20 14Kt Gold-Filled and 1/10 14Kt Gold-Filled.Gold-Filled items are generally considered life-time products, and the gold layer will not wear off, as it will in electroplated products.

What is the Symbol for 24K gold filled jewelry?

Gold Filled: Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors. As a matter of fact, anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold!

What is the value of 18Kt HGE?

Gold filled, and heavy gold electotype are basically GOLD PLATE, so thus there is not much gold there. However, with the run-up in the price of gold, there are actually places who are now buying gold-plate and gold filled items. They don't pay much, and two rings aren't worth shipping, but don't pitch them out. If they do have something to do with the Army base, eBay is a place to sell. I shipped off about 10oz of various plated items and got $70. The big problem with selling plated items is that most smelters will charge you a $75-125 charge per shipment, plus pay a discounted percentage of the true amount of gold. If you only have a modest amount, it doesn't pay to ship to most smelters.

What is the value of Elgin National Watch Co picket watch movement 8125779?

My understanding is that a 15 jewel watch is not an "official" railroad watch. Elgin was probably playing off the railroad theme. You did not give the size or if the watch is open face or hunting case. I am guessing that the watch is open face. Value depends largely on whether the watch case is solid gold or if it is gold filled. I am guessing gold filled on a 15 jewel. If the case says "warranted" it is most likely gold filled. A 20 year case is 10k gold filled and a 25 year case is 14k gold filled. What I have seen sell in antique malls is $100-200 for gold filled and $300-500 if solid gold. I am not an authority on pocket watches.

Which cost more gold filled jewelry or gold plated jewelry?

first question ...do you folks have a preference for gold filled or vermeil? I have heard that vermeil doesn't hold up any better than plating ...? ...also, I have some gold plated pewter that wears off so quickly, I wouldn't dare sell anything made of it ...can I treat it with something to prolong the gold plating? I wore a necklace for a total of maybe 15 hours and the plating wore off enough to make the beads grey & dull ...how can I sell that? I'm so disappointed in gold plated pewter but I'm also afraid plated brass would tarnish so quickly .
