Gold Mark Identification Help

Postby thestarkfactor » Tue Mar 11, 2014 1:48 pm

Hello.

This was my late Grandmothers emerald and diamond ring which I believe was purchased outside the UK many years ago.

Can anyone help with the identification and interpretation of the gold marks?

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

585 = 585/1000, indicating 14 ct gold.

Thank you dognose. :)

Do you know the country of origin and what the other marks may mean?

The only other mark you appear to have is a '5', which may relate to the size. As the ring has no hallmarks it's pretty well impossible to determine the country of origin.

Thanks for the help Trev.

I am going to take it off to my local jewelers for a valuation, so knowing its 14ct will help.
