It typically means two things. First, the ring was probably made before the stamp act of 1906 which regulated, among other things, what jewelers could and couldn't hallmark on their wares. Second, assuming the piece is US made, it would mean the ring is of at least (and quite likely) 10k gold. This standard has long been the minimum standard considered as "solid gold" in the States. The UK has a lover 9ct standard and some European countries (ie Italy) had 8ct up until the 1990s when they standardized their marking system.

What does the gold hallmarks M.C.G. and 14K mean?
I have a large gold ring (48 grams ) with marks of 14K and M.C.G. I can't identify what marking M.C.G. means on my ring. Does these marks on my ring mean its real gold !? Am I to understand, the stamp 14K (585) means - 58.5%, or 14 karat gold. M.C.G. - hallmarked in US or Europe ? Can you possibly identify this? Thank you.
