Is 14K MEX real gold?
1 Answer

Yes, 14K MEX may be real gold. The MEX marking indicates that the piece comes from a factory or workshop in Mexico, while the 14K hallmark means that it is 14-karat gold, an alloy of 58.5% pure gold and 41.4% base metal. However, counterfeiters do sometimes place fraudulent hallmarks on jewelry made of less expensive materials. If you suspect your jewelry may not be genuine, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler evaluate it for you. Shop a wide variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
