I picked up some deep yellow ear rings that look high karat to me. Does anyone recognize this mark? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432826858.839941.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432826910.829370.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432826936.742497.jpg

Research says read Egyptian marks left to right. So I think it says makers mark then 21 then G. So 21KT? What do you think? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1432843853.940419.jpg

Left to right would be 12K, wouldn't it?

Roller Coaster rides come with all kinds of jewelry finds. Don't forget that some costume jewelry earrings have solid karat gold on the earring wires.... :thumbsup:

Jimdon - that earring looks pretty good to me just based on tone and construction. I would double check it.

I agree. Test for 10k though, like I said, I read it as 12K, not 21K.
