In the US jewelry must be at least 10k gold in order to be considered or called gold jewelry. This means that 41.7% of the jewelry must be pure gold and the remaining 58.3% can by alloys. In Europe, jewelry must be at least 9k gold and anything less than that can't be marketed as gold.
To determine the metal content of a ring you must look for the karat stamp on the inside finger hole. Real gold in the US will be marked the following:
10k or .417
14k or .585
18k or .750
