Woven Bracelet - Gold-plated?

[bittahdreamer]

Would anyone be able to tell me what the stamp "AU9251/814K" means on this bracelet? I know the photo quality is horrible, but the other side of the clasp is stamped with "Turkey."

I don't know much about jewelry, and I'm trying to figure out whether this is a good find or not, so any info would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I suppose you could do a free trial at WorthPoint to see what this one sold for, not that ones description guarantees the content they claim it to have: Ladies 7.5" Vintage 14K over Sterling Silver Triple Strand 8mm Bracelet -Turkey (03/06/2013)

It looks solved, I can add a little gold trivia:
Au is the chemical element symbol for gold, the atomic number for gold is 2, and gold has a specific gravity of 19.32 (lead has a SG of 11.34). That meens that gold is 19.32 times heavier than water.

Atomic Number for gold is 79. The 2 is the number of electrons in the first energy level. 79 is the total number of protons/ or the total number of electrons.

I have seen similar markings before and although I could be wrong, I believe the markings stand for Gold over .925 Silver and the total Gold content weight-wise is 1/8 of the total metal weight in 14k Gold.

From Answers.com.
925 usually refers to sterling silver, being 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper. However, Au is the chemical symbol for gold. Being that gold purity is usually marked in karats, it may indicate gold-plated sterling silver.
The same thing huntsman53 said.

My mistake austin you are correct, Au2 is the symbol and 79 is the atomic number. Heck I knew that, it is clearly marked in the Periodic Table of Elements.
