14K means 14 karats
Karats is the measure of purity for gold; 1 karat is about 1/24 purity by mass.
Therefore 14 karats is about 58% gold, the remainder probably being silver.
They use silver as a filler because pure gold is too soft to make good jewelry on it's own.
To get to the direct question, just because it has 14k Italy on it doesn't mean it's real. The stamps can be forged, if your not sure if it's real, take it in to your local jewlery store. Most jewlery stores will test it for you for free and then you'll know for sure. I must say this also, people if you are going to sell your jewlery, stop taking it to pawn shops. If you do just want a loan and then get it back, by all means take it to a pawn shop. But if you are going to sell it and never see it again, sell it to a jewlery store, it's been my practice for years. I've gotten more money selling the jewlery to a jewlery store then I ever did from a pawn shop. Case in point, the very first ring I ever sold, I took it to a couple of pawn shops. The most they would give me was $50.00. I knew it was worth more than that, I didn't even have to shop around. The first jewlery store I walked into paid me $174.00 for the ring. Not that pawn shops are bad, because their not, you can get some really good deals there, just not for selling jewelry.
Yes. If it is indeed stamped 14kt. In Italy only 18kt gold can be sold, so anything less is for export only.
You can not be certain it is real unless you have it tested at a jewelers. I learned the hard way that they can mark anything they want on a piece of jewelry and it can still be fake.
Markings do not guarantee metal content or fineness. Testing by qualified persons is the only sure way of knowing.
I think you meant to say . 1578 which is the percentage of 14 kt gold that is gold...175 would be 18 kt

I have a bracelet marked 14kt g.s. that I found out is gold plated.
the PG stands for Plated Gold - meaning the ring is not pure 14kt gold but made of another metal overlayed with 14kt gold
58.5%
What does 120 14kt mean on a bracelet
Gold necklaces contain the chemical element of gold. This is true if the gold necklace is real gold instead of plated gold. Some gold necklaces are not truly gold.
What do zz 14kt mean? Is it 585 (14kt gold)
