What markings are on real gold?
1 Answer

Many different markings can appear on real gold. Makers sometimes stamp pieces with karats, using markings like 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K. Alternatively, they may use a three-digit number that corresponds to the percentage of pure gold in the piece. Examples of these markings include “375” for 9-karat gold, “585” for 14-karat gold, “750” for 18-karat gold, “916” for 22-karat gold and “999” for 24-karat gold.
