My 50th ring for the year and it was gold!!!!

[txkickergirl]

I went out for a night hunt with my brother and got to see the sun rise! Exhausting but I managed my goal for the weekend. I wanted to find 2 rings so that I could say I found 50 for the year. Didn't matter if they were junk or not.

So I found one, it is a mans silver, that was gold plated. Then just when I was about to give up I hit sand castle row, where the wet meets the dry. I don't hunt this area, because of all the trash, but as a last resort I tried it. My first target was this 14kp diamond ring. I knew the p didn't stand for plated so I was a happy camper.

Here is my question, do they still stamp any rings 14kp, if not what was the years when this was done?

Big Congrats on your 50th ring, thats alot of rings!! Don't know about the P thing but Great Going on the Gold!! Maybe you can get 75 for the year??

Hi txkickergirl

The term 14kp stands for "karat plumb" which is an old term meaning it is "exactly" 14k gold.

Congrats!

I knew the p stood for plumb meaning no less than 14k but I would like to know if and when we stopped using that stamp, that would help to date the ring.

In the context of gold jewelry, "plumb" is an old-fashioned term that means that the fineness or purity level of the gold content is precisely what is stamped on the item. The word "Plumb" or the letter P still sometimes follows the metal stamp (e.g., "14k Plumb," "14KP").


Congrats

Apparently the term kp was widely used up until the 1970's.

Congrats!! & all the best.

 

[txkickergirl]

thanks everyone, and that was what I was looking for up to about when did they stop using the P. So its a safe bet that the ring is from the 70's.

that is why I don't wear nail polish!!!! The beach eats it right off my fingers and toes. I gotta remember to get nail polish remover next time I go to the store.
