I know what 925 is and 585 is an early form of saying 14k, can someone tell me what others are.
Are there different numbers for 24k, 10k etc.?
 
The Percentage of Gold that each represent are as follows:

10k (Karat) is 41.66 percent Gold (10/24 = 41.66%) aka 416 or 417
14k (Karat) is 58.33 percent Gold (14/24 = 58.33%) aka 583 or 585
18k (Karat) is 75.00 percent Gold (18/24 = 75.00%) aka 750
24k (Karat) is 100 percent Gold (24/24 = 100.00%) aka 999

also
333 ---------------- 8K
375 ---------------- 9K
500 ---------------- 12K
916 or 917 ------ 22K

GE, HGE, GP, EP, = Gold Electroplate
GF, G.F. = Gold Filled
