I ran into a marking on a bracelet and it was stamped, "10K Mex". I tested that particular pracelet using the acid test and here are the results;

When a 14K and/or 18K and/or 22K acid is applied on a scratched sample using the testing stone (the ruselt) = The sample vanishes immedietely

When a 10K acid is applied on a scratched sample usig the testing stone (the ruselt) =The sample vanishes gradually leaving a trace of Gold.

Conclusion: The pracelet contains less than 41.7% gold and hence it is less than 10k. Any piece of jewelry which is less than 10K, its not considered Gold in the USA.

I have a bracelet and on the tag it says that the bracelt is 10k lire The chain has the JCM 10k mark on it Does that mean that the chain is gold and the lire coins are not or are they all gold?

If I read your question correctly the bracelet is made from Italian lire coins and the chain is 10K. If these are real Lire the coins they are not gold, but that they could be set in a 10K coin holder to hold them to the chain. Often when coins are used in jewelry they are placed inside a frame/holder. My guess is that what you have.
