In jewelry, HGE stands for heavy gold electroplate. That means the piece is plated with gold, not solid.

It's a ring 18 kt HGE real gold?

If something is stamped "18K HGE" it is not real gold. The letters "HGE" is a quality mark used for costume jewelry, and it stands for "Heavy Gold Electroplate". The item that is electroplated has a very thin layer of gold that has been applied to its base metal, which is usually brass. This is considered "costume" jewelry since it is not gold through and through. 18KT HGE is absolutely REAL gold and in fact, the electroplating on HGE is "heavy" therefore it is quite good quality. Just because the ring is not solid gold doesn't mean the gold isn't real. The peice you have, if it appears in good condition, is very good quality.


Can you sell 18kt hge for scrap?

Yes, you can sell 18kt HGE (High Gold Electroplate) for scrap, but its value will be significantly lower than solid gold due to the thin layer of gold over a base metal. Most scrap buyers focus on the gold content, and since HGE contains minimal gold, it may not be worth much. It's important to check with local scrap dealers for their policies on HGE items, as some may not accept them at all.
