Gold Mark Help

[JimDon]

I picked up some deep yellow ear rings that look high karat to me. Does anyone recognize this mark?

 

[JimDon]

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?

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

Well it turns out the earrings flunked the acid test and were not gold. Thanks

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....

I got to stop trying to make things out of nothing.

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.

I tried 10kt and it dissolved after a few minutes. Thank you
