It may be PB, not PD? part of the B may be worn away...if you have a loupe or magnifying glass you should look closely... a P or PB after the karat mark stands for Plumb...which means it is exactly 14K gold. 14K gold is softer than 10K and wears away easily, especially on rings. Or,... it could also be a makers mark.
What does b 18k mean
Gold is weighted in Karats. Pure gold is 24K, meaning it is 24 parts gold and contains no alloy). 14K gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy (usually copper, silver, and zinc - though other metals are used as well). The alloy makes gold stronger (gold is a very soft metal) and can change the color (more zinc will make white gold, more copper makes rose gold, and more silver makes green gold).
