Italian Gold
I found a braclet marked 10K-Italy with clasp marked 412, and a ring marked M417 both of which are distively gold. How does this numbering translate to the 10K/12K/14K/18K values I typically see on most items I have found.
I'm always out for gold, I just a little ignert.  Can somebody enlighten me. Out4gold.

Re: Gold Quality
Maybe this will help.
These are the European markings for the purity of gold. 24K = 999 22K = 916 20K = 833 19K = 792 18K = 750 15K = 625 (in antiques) 14K = 585 12K = 500 10K = 417 -9K = 375 The higher the carat quality the greater the proportion of gold it will contain. Countries across the world allow different minimum carat standards. For example, in France and Italy the lowest permitted standard for gold is 18 carat, in Germany it is 8 carat and in the USA it is 10 carat gold. In Britain, however, the minimum standard has been 9 carat since the First World War when gold was in short supply. Last edited by Harry(PA); 04-18-2006 at 09:35 PM. Reason: added a statement
