What does the purity of a ring have to be to be real gold?

In the US jewelry must be at least 10k gold in order to be considered or called gold jewelry. This means that 41.7% of the jewelry must be pure gold and the remaining 58.3% can by alloys. In Europe, jewelry must be at least 9k gold and anything less than that can't be marketed as gold. To determine the metal content of a ring you must look for the karat stamp on the inside finger hole. Real gold in the US will be marked the following: 10k or .417 14k or .585 18k or .750

Is 325 Italian Gold real Gold?

European jewelry makers have a different way of marking the purity content of jewelry than does US makers. 325 on Italian gold means it is the equivalent of 9K in the US. It is not a high quantity of gold, but it does still contain (likely) 32.5% gold and 67.5% other metal(s).

Is 24k gold jewelry the same in the US and India?

It should be, however a claim of 24 karatage is not a guarantee as under-karating in countries outside the US is common. What that means is the gold content may not be as high as claimed or stamped on the piece of jewelry. As this is difficult to detect at the point of purchase there is a chance for the unscruplous to sell gold that is of slightly less gold content than stated. In the US precious metal contents are closely regulated, HOWEVER I have seen and tested gold jewelry in the US that was of probable foreign manufacture (and this is a big segment of the commercial grade market) that was under-karated. For example, wedding rings stamped 14 kt. that tested 13.5 kt. (I am not saying that all foreign jewelry is under-karated only that it is a possibility.) The only practical way to know for sure is to have the gold tested by an electronic gold tester that a good jeweler/goldsmith may have. Jewelry made in Europe conforms to the same high standards as US made jewelry.


How much gold costs?

To find the value of a gram of gold, you must first find the spot price of gold (per troy ounce) in your country, then convert to grams. Thus, if the spot price of gold is 900 US dollars per troy ounce and there are about 31.10 grams in a troy ounce, then the math follows:$900 x 1 ounce/31.10 grams = $28.94/gramTo find the value of jewelry, you need to know the karats (weight) of actual gold in the jewelry. 24kt gold is the most karats of gold available and this is basically pure gold. 14kt and 18kt are common in the US, while 22kt gold is sold overseas. If you buy an 18kt piece of jewelry, this means that this jewelry is in fact only 75% gold. The remaining 25% is other metals.So if I have a gram of 18kt gold jewelry, I must multiply price per gram by percent gold to find the actual price in grams. $28.94 x .75 = $21.71/gram. Other factors will also affect the ultimate price, such as workmanship, gemstones, etc.A gram of gold weighs approx the same as a dollar bill and at todays price is valued at $32

Is vintage gold real gold?

The term "vintage gold" is vague and can mean anything from a style of jewelry to gold jewelry of a certain age. I am assuming that you mean gold items that were made at least 20 years ago, while antique gold would mean anything made at least 100 years ago.Vintage gold may well be real gold, but the term "gold" itself can be problematic. In the US, gold in jewelry is defined has having a minimum of 10K or at least 41.6 percent gold. This is the minimum amount of gold that can be called gold in the US. Britain and other countries allow lower percentages, so if you are buying in these countries, be aware that you may be buying a lower percentage of gold that cannot be resold as gold in the US.Unfortunately, some "bargain" gold sellers are selling items that are either mistakenly or intentionally mismarked with grades that are higher than warranted by than actual gold content. 6K, 8K, or even 9K are tagged and sold as 10K or higher. I've seen people who were fooled by a 24K gold marking that had actually bought 8K gold.Almost all vintage and even antique gold is marked with the amount of gold in the piece, usually 10K, 12K (older pieces), 14K, 18K, 22K (rarely used in the US) or 24K. In some antique pieces, these marks may be difficult to read. If there is any question about the amount of gold or authenticity of a piece, take it to an established jeweler, a person who MAKES jewelry, as opposed to a person who buys from someone else and resells it to customers in a jewelry store.Beware of taking pieces to gold buyers. Although many are reputable, others have popped up with little or no training, with the intent of making a fortune in buying and selling gold. These people may not be trained to test the content of the gold or they may even be less than honest about the gold content in your items so that you may sell them valuable pieces at very low prices.In all cases, the saying "buyer beware" applies. Going to a reputable, long-established jeweler or estate jeweler is your best bet for getting what you think you are getting.


What does 800 marking on gold jewelry bought in Portugal mean?

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.
