AU is the symbol for gold... 925 refers to the purity of that particular piece...
On the periodic table, Au represents gold.
Auram is a Latin word for gold that is why in the periodic table the symbol for gold is Au
Au is the atomic symbol for the element Gold. Au is technically 100% gold, because Au only stands for gold, and no other element.
It is Au, for Aurum.
The Latin word for gold is aurum, the beginning of which is au, therefore the symbol from gold is au :) i actually had this question on a test today :P

gold and silver fools
AU is the symbol for gold... 925 refers to the purity of that particular piece...
Those are the initial of the company or maker.
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.
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.
Au is the elemental symbol for gold, from the Latin name for gold, aurum.

Au is the chemical symbol for gold.
12.7 g gold (1 mole Au/197.0 grams)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole Au) = 3.88 X 10^22 atoms of gold
Au is the chemical symbol for Gold. Therefore, it means the ring is made of pure gold.
