What markings are on real gold?

What markings are on real gold?
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.
