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.
585 Marking on Italian jewellery indicates it is 14K gold
It means the bracelet is 14k gold ( = 58.5% pure gold).
Gd on gold usally means gold dipped (Gold Plated), GF = Gold Filled
it may just say 585 which means it 58.5% gold. which is 14k so it works out.
14K = 14 karat gold which equals to gold content. With "Italy" adding = Italian made or Italy origin!
somewhere I read that it means gold plated (with 14k gold)
If gold is real it will be stamped with a fineness number of 1-999 or .1-.999. It can also be stamped with a karat number of 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K or 24K.
Where it was made. Most likely costume jewelry unless it has a number with k next to it it's probably not real gold. Everything including 14k an 10k gold has where it was made I've seen alot of gold stamped 14k Italy. Just look again for other marks, or have it acid tested. Hope this helps
It means 14k Gold European origin possibly Turkey or Israel.
