cou could be looking at initials.
Sure. It could be even better gold. The best is to ask in the jewelry store to test it for the fineness of gold.
It means 10kt. in U.S. terms. 417 = 41.7% gold in European terms.
Bring your jewelry to a jeweler or a store that sells jewelry and ask.
417 mean 10 karat gold and 585 means 14k and 750 means 18k
Of course you send it in to a gold refinery and ask them to pay you for the scrap gold then go buy gold bullion.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! When you see "10K" stamped on a chain, it means the chain is made of 10 karat gold. That's a lovely touch of gold to add some warmth and beauty to your day. Just imagine all the wonderful memories you'll create while wearing that special piece!
Stamps like the one you ask about are the initials of the designer or company. There also should be gold or silver content. The initials add no value to your ring.
925 Italy means your bracelet was: made in Italy, it's 92.5% pure sterling silver, 7.5% infused alloy metal (possibly copper) and gold plated. -JagiMonster I believe that the above answer is correct for the most part, however since it was made in Italy and it is 925 sterling, the gold could be gold filled or vermeil both of which are much, much better than gold plated. You would have to ask a jewler. I know that there is an FAS jewelry school in Ireland. They may have one in Italy as well but I'm not certain.
No, a gold bracelet is not a pure substance. It is a mixture of gold and possibly other elements, such as silver or copper, used to strengthen the gold for jewelry-making.
ask the one you are purchasing it from ;)
You mean jewelry right? Most places only charge you for the new jewelry but call the shop and ask them.
It all depends of the alloy content. Regardless of the fineness of the gold in the alloy, the allergy might be caused by the nickel content in that alloy. The best is to ask in the jewelry store, prior to the purchase, if the golden jewelry contains any nickel.
