The karat marking on an item is how many parts out of 24 is pure gold, the rest being alloy mix. Thus a 14 karat item is 14 parts PURE gold and 10 parts alloy ( copper, zinc, silver , or nickle) . A 14 karat ,14k item is 58.5% pure gold ( 14 divided by 24) . 25 on an item has to be something else, for .25 meaning 1/4 diamond or a style number , etc
it should say 14 K for the gold weight Answer:The 14K (14 Karat) means that the ring contains 14 parts of gold by weight out of 24 parts of total weight. Gold is often alloyed with other metals to make it harder and more durable. A ring may contain other letters to indicate the manufactirer.

That is to designate that the ring is comprised of 14 karat gold. The maximum possible is 24 karats, but 24 karat gold, or anything close to that is too soft to be of any practical use in a ring -- so the gold is mixed with other metals (improving the strength of the gold while reducing the karat number). THE ABOVE ANSWER IS INCORRECT. The question was for 14KS: 14ks means 14k gold plate OVER Silver.
"GW" normally refers to the actual GOLD Weight of an item made from a Gold alloy. A ring that has a wieght of say 5 Grams , and is made in 9K Gold, will have a GW of 1.8749 Grams.The "k" at the back may refer to gold purity (Karat). Karat is indicated as "Parts of 24" pure Gold. In other words a 9 karat gold ring consists of 9/24 parts pure gold and 15/24 parts of another metal.The "78" in the middle - I have no idea.This marking can also be a Silver marking as there are hundreds of silver markings out there. It will be very difficault to tell, unless I can see the marking and the marked item.

If it's a silver ring, it will have a number like ".925", which indicates it's true sterling silver. If it's some form of gold, it will have a carat number, such as 14k, which indicates what proportion of 24 is gold. 14k indicates the ring is 14/24 gold.
