Sterling+14K ??

[conleytheking]

What does it mean when a ring saying Sterling+14K?

I bought a little ring that says that on the inside and im not sure
I think I may have over paid at $3

14k plate over sterling most likely.

 

[conleytheking]

Ahh I see.
Probably not $3 worth of silver there lol

Look closely. There are probably two different colored metals. One is gold and one is silver.

 

[conleytheking]

I think the line on either side of the hearts is silver

Is there any other name or marking in there besides 925 and 14 K? Also it's kind of just like gold layering over top of the silver. I would still put it up on eBay for 3999 or best offer. Or 29 but should be able to get at least $25 out of it. If not more. And if there is a name in there you can probably double that amount.

Sometimes it does mean individual parts are made out of sterling & 14k, sometimes it just means gold plating over sterling. It just depends on the manufacturer/quality of the piece.

I would gladly sell it for $30 lol

The inside of the bad is fairly worn
To the point "sterling" is nearly gone
That's why I didn't think it was plated. But who knows

 

[mugsisme]

Which part is gold? If you can see gold on the inside, then it is probably gold and silver. I have a lot of pieces like that.

 

[conleytheking]

The inside is still gold
Not showing any silver even through the wear
So I'm not sure

I put it on eBay. I started it at $5. Kinda silly. Wouldn't be worth the trouble if no one bids it up.
I have one person watching it but that's all.

I've sold things for less, just to get the ratings and because I did not need the item but thought others may. Sold a bunch of lapidary items for $.99. Probably about $30 worth of stuff. Got great feedback.

Yes...we want to know! You will have US bidding on it!

This has not worked well for me ... I have won two lately I really didn't want. One I was shocked it didn't go higher, the 2nd was a neighbor about 7 houses away. Bid on his thing thinking he would get all excited since he is just starting out... Well, I won it.. He didn't notice the address and mailed it out! I left him + feedback then wore the shirt to his house that night for dinner... He said man I just sold a shirt like that not too long ago. LOL I said I know, you mailed it to my po box!!

Priceless. ..assuming he did not charge you for dinner, take the cost of the shirt as the cost of dinner.

This is it guys!


I'm not sure how to get a URL from the ebay app

I found your listing on eBay. You only have one picture. Buyers want pictures and you are allowed to put 12 photos on the listings. Why not put close-up of the hearts and the stamps inside the ring. Show any wear areas etc. Think about when you bought that ring for $3, did you pick it up and look at the markings inside etc? The buyers on eBay need photos because they cannot pick it up and look. Sorry, not trying to be mean but I just get so frustrated when I'm searching ebay and there's only one photo.

 

[conleytheking]

Ahh fair enough. I'll have to add more pictures (if I can??)

That was my first ebay posting. Ever.
