585 gold ?

[Blak bart]

In case you didn't know... gold marked 585 is 58.5% gold, or 14k ! I've gotten a few items this year marked 585, and I thought they were trash 🧐😳💩 but, it turns out there good stuff and the same as 14k !! Wood hooo !!

Here's a good explanation of the mark and how it's used....now I've got to round up all the 585 I threw in the costume jewelry jar !!🤑

Always good to remember this stuff...we all get used to 10k,14k,and18k marks, but I'm seeing more stuff marked this way...I remembered the 750, but 417 would have had me looking it up !!

I will also even add some more to this for you to chew on....

MOST karat marks on OLDER pieces are not actual.
They may be over OR under the designations.

The "P" or "KP "..... like 14KP for example.... is when the actual karat is "true".

In other words.... its "Plumb".... hence... "plumb gold".

This is where gold dealers "make out"... by more of the scrap being actually higher in karat return from refiners.

SO.... dont throw a 14kp ring into the costume stuff thinking that the P means 14k plated.

Like I said....this list should be up top and sticky so it can be accessed and quickly referenced!! What say the MODS !!??

 

[Mackaydon]

585 indicates that the item contains 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% other metals like silver or copper.

I found a ring stamped 21K, so, that decimal equivalent needs to be added too. Then, you can get into the Asian, middle east, and Indian stampings!
