WHAT DO THE STAMPS ON MY JEWELRY MEAN?
It became standard practice in the 1900's for manufacturers to stamp their jewelry, indicating the quality of the metal. An item stamped '14K' usually means that it contains very close to that amount of gold. The same rule applies for 18K, 22K, all Platinum markings, etc. If an item is marked 'sterling' or 'sterling silver' it is usually pure silver.
Stampings you may notice:
- .917 means 22K
- .585 means 14K
- .417 means 10K
- .375 means 9Ks
