Gold jewelry is marked in karats. 24 karats is pure gold. Take the listed amount in karats, divide by 24 and multiply by 100.
925 usually refers to sterling silver, being 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper. However, Au is the chemical symbol for gold. Being that gold purity is usually marked in karats, it may indicate gold-plated sterling silver.

The 925 or .925 is the marking that indicates your jewelry is at least 92.5% sterling silver. If it were to say 10k or .925/18k it would indicate that the metal is either 10 karats gold, or sterling silver with 18 karats plated gold.. The H is the manufacturer's signature to ensure the customer can trust where the markings and jewelry has come from.
Stamped inside a ring, the JS initials and the 925 mean the initials of the manufacturer and the karat of the ring. A ring that says 925 means that the ring has 925 karats.
AU 925 V20 10 K means that the item is sterling silver. This is a term used as a hallmarking.

I had the same question. And there seems to be some contradiction in AU. I have found a maker of the name Archibald Ure a silver and gold smith from Edinburgh, Scotland 1700-1730. However, I don’t believe the earrings I have, and are marked 925 AU c, are from 1700s. I haven‘t found any other makers with the copyright AU yet.
If a piece of jewelry has 925 CISS stamped on it, this typically means it is 925 karats. The CISS is just the abbreviations for the maker of the piece of jewelry.
well... it depends on how many karats the gold is... -_-
Karats is purity, not weight.
