AnswerYes, I have sold some of my diamond jewelry as I no longer used it. But this is done with utmost care as there are chances of not getting optimum value of jewelry. And in case of my diamond jewelry, I made sure that I took them to a reputable and trained jeweler who evaluates the value of my jewelry based on its craftsmanship and market value and provides me the best deal.
On a gold ring the stamp 585 is meant to indicate that it is 58.5%, or 14 karat gold. However, I urge anyone wishing to buy jewelry to be very careful when judging gold by the marking. If you are dealing with a reputable jewelry store or jeweler, you are probably safe.
SNA silver refers to silver nickel antique. Jewelry or any other item that has sna silver marking not necessarily might contain silver.
Gold jewelry in Portugual must by law be 19.2 karat pure, there fore the marking of 800 translates to 80% gold, or 19.2 parts out of 24 (24 parts being 24 karat gold, 100% pure). A lot of European gold jewelry is marked 750, which ranslates to 75% gold content, or 18K, 18 out of 24 parts gold. Gold in the US is typically 14K or 58.5% gold, which is represented by the mark 585, 417 is 10K, 41.7% gold. Hope this helps.
