In article , (Mobius812) writes: it's 10K Gold solid So, that means that 90% is something other than gold, right? Wrong. 10K means 10 parts out of 24, i.e. 41.67% Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Commonly added metals are Copper, Silver, Nickel, Aluminum, and others. If you wish to read more try http://www.gold.org/discover/sci_indu/GTech/2000_30/colgold.pdf.

The foreign stamp for 10k gold is 416. If you scroll down on this
page, you will see a section called "The Research Department." Click on the link about gold. I am always adding new things, but there is a lot of information there already. http://www.jeansjewelryline.com Jean http://www.jeansjewelryline.com Can anyone tell me what these markings on a bracelet I own mean. 417 G S Thanks |
