Gold Bracelet Stamped 925
I purchased this bracelet at a garage sale this weekend for a few dollars due to it being stamped 925. Has anyone ever seen this? Is it gold or sterling? I know that typically sterling is marked 925 but the fact that this is gold in color has intrigued me. Is silver used as a base for gold plating? Thanks!!!

Quick answer is yes. Sterling is used as a base for gold plating , very common.

Check for HGE somewhere on the piece. Means "Heavy Gold Electroplate".
Pretty certain the 925 refers to 925 fine silver base.
Do you have a weight for it?

The weight is about 19-20 grams.

Is it worth anything? Silver melt?

Creeper,
Dig-m-Deep took the going rate of sterling per ounce ($39.??per ounce) and divided by 32 (grams per ounce) and times it by 20 (grams in the bracelet) and got the going price of sterling for the bracelet. It was done right, that's what it's worth.

This IS correct. 20/31.1 = .643 oz Times .925 = .595 X $39 = $23.20. Someone forgot to multipy the actual oz weight by .925 and used an overweight Troy gram weight. Goose-0 (The Silver King)

A VERY easy/rough estimating formula that I use "on the road" is $1 per gram for 925.
