Want this question answered?
825 means the gold mount is 82.5% pure.
82.5% gold /silver what ever the metal is
825 is not gold 825 is probably 925 meaning sterling silver blurred or miss stamped
10k Edit by Cjulsh 10k is incorrect. 10k jewelry would be stamped 417 which is the amount of gold content. 10k is 41.7% gold. 825 is a lower grade of silver...most silver pieces would have a stamp of 925 which is 92.5% silver. Some pieces will use a lower grade silver 825 or 82.5% silver.
I have a tungsten ring with that making and it was about 30$
I HAVE A bracelet WITH 825 STAMPED ON CLASP. It's so small. i checked it because this looks to have a higher shine, than just a silver 925 bracelet. So is 825 platinum or white gold and what should i get per gram.
im not 100 % sure but i think nickel alloy...
The stamp is called a hallmark, and is intended to show how much silver is contained in the item. 825 silver means that the item is made up of 82.5% silver and 17.5% other metals (often nickel or aluminum). 825 silver is a very odd number. Are you sure you are reading it correctly? 925 silver is called "sterling silver." If it is indeed 825, you may have an antique piece that originated in Europe (usually Germany) in the mid-1800s.
825 is a reference to the gold purity i.e. 82.5% pure.
How much is it worth
it is the percentage out of 1000 that it is silver. so it is 825/1000 silver. I'm pretty sure. hope this helps.
825 as a fraction = 825/1
