i have the same 18 marked 750 gold ring
18k refers to the gold content (18k = 75% gold) with the rest being silver or other metals 159 refers to the purity of the silver
66.5
The 18K indicates 18 karat gold. The HGE indicates heavy gold electroplate, meaning the ring is not solid gold but gold plated. The A might indicate the manufacturer.
I had the same thing stamped on my 10k gold necklace. I called a jeweller and they weren't very helpful but they told me it was most likely the brand name.
About 1/20th the price of solid 18k.
what does 18K SAC mean in a ring
Better to lose a 9k gold ring than a 18k one ! 18k is purer gold than 9k.
its only 18k gold plated, not full gold This could be incorrect. If the ring has 18K/PLAT then the ring is 18K gold with some platinum. Probably to hold the diamond.
18k is not homgeneous
This means that the ring is matt gold electroplated. The 18k is the amount of gold that is found in the ring.
it is not gold electroplate it is gold
Copper
gold
The ring is not actual solid 18K gold, it is only plated with 18K. The metal under the plating is not gold!
It means that the ring is made of 18K gold.
If there is a marking of 18kge on a ring, it means that the ring has 18 karat gold electroplate or kge. 18K gold has a content of 75 percent pure gold and the rest of the percentage are other metals like copper. The ring is merely electroplated by 18karat gold and not made of 18k gold.
