all the metals have lusture in quality. when gold jewellary sent to goldsmith for polishing they generally reduce its weight.Due to lusture the density of the metals get reduced thereby reducing their weight.
they use acids for polishing the jwellery . chemical substances.
Polishing removes an extremely thin layer of gold off the surface.
There is a loss of weight in the gold after polish because goldsmith reacts the jewellery with acid to shine.In the process, a little amount of gold is lost.
Gold tends to lose weight after polishing because small fragments brush off while polishing. Depending on the original weight of the gold item or even age you are looking to lose .55 to 2 % of original weight. Don't be frightened, it's normal!! Hope this helps

Because polishing something removes a little material from the surface of the object.
B/c polishing relies on removing the surface layer to get down to a smooth and shiny surface. Every time an object is polished, some of it will disappear.
GOLD
fire...?
Obviously Gold.
14K is the Karat weight of the gold, or purity level. JTC is likely the goldsmith or company that produced the jewellery.
Generally, if the purchases are in the form of bullion, the person is most likely a gold investor or speculator. If the gold is purchased in the form of coins, regardless of the country of origin, the person is a coin collector or numismatist. There are those who fancy gold objects found in archaeological digs and ship wrecks. These individuals make such purchases of gold for their historical value and may be archeologists, historians or treasure enthusiasts.
