What symbols are on real gold?

What symbols are on real gold?
What symbols appear on real gold vary. Sometimes, you will see stamps that read "AU." This abbreviation for gold may appear before or after a hallmark that denotes the type of gold alloy, such as "18k" or "14K." Alternatively, you may see a number placed inside a hexagon. The numbers will most likely be 585 for 14-karat gold, 750 for 18-karat gold or 916 for 22-karat gold. If you need help determining whether a particular piece of jewelry is real gold, consult an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of gold jewelry.
