Please check the numbers closely. 585 is the Italian standard hallmark for 14K gold. it stands for 58.5% or 585/1000 pure gold in the item. 585 is frequently misread as 595.

It means that the piece of gold jewelry has a content of 58.5% gold, which is 14kt gold.

If it is plated it will have additional letters such as GE for gold electroplate or GF for gold filled. If it is stamped 585 P that stands for plum and has been tested to be 14K solid gold.
