mysteries abound in the jewelry world. seems nothing is too cheap to fake.
any way a nice low tone on the excal2 produced a fairly large earring that looks
gold.it is marked M92514k. i can tell the clip mechanism is sterling. but the body looks gold.
i would think it was all silver, goldplated. except if it was it would give a hi tone on the excal.
and it gave a low tone which is the gold sound.
so im guessing the M stands for Married 925 sterling clip. and 14k body.using silver as a stronger metal to make the clip more durable
if plated i would expect it to read 925 GE or 925 HGE
however there seems to be no limit to the length jewelry makers will go to .
to hide exactly what things are made of.
they love to mark stuff karat that izznt.
anything to make a piece appear valuable while actually being made of crap.
SO ANYONE EVR ENCOUNTER THAT PARTICULAR MARKING B4 ?
m92514k .no spaces
last year i carried around an earring that i was sure wasnt gold no markings
and then turned out it was. oh well you never know
im jealous of those pawn guys on tv that always seem to have a handy and very authoritive
expert nearby to find out what real or fake.
i would guess they have to pay these guys to show up and give an appraisal but of course,
they never show it.
