Dear players, I'm sure you've all had the experience of buying jewelry. However, during the shopping process, have you ever carefully observed the engravings on your jewelry?These seemingly insignificant marks are actually rich in information. Next, let me take you to uncover the mystery behind them.
First of all, have you noticed that not all jewelry will have such a mark?Indeed it is. For example, jade ornaments usually do not have imprints, because the material of jade is special, and it is not convenient to put a mark after polishing after carving, and there is no need for this. Conversely, gold and silver jewellery often have inscriptions, which are equivalent to their "identity cards", and at the same time, there are also inscriptions on inlaid jewelry and jade, such as under the back cover.
So, what exactly do the inscriptions on these pieces of jewelry represent?First of all, the manufacturer code or brand name is a common mark on jewelry. Those well-known jewelers will engrave their brand logos or abbreviations on their jewelry. For example, Van Cleef & Arpels, the world-famous jewel, has a classic logo for every piece of jewelry. In addition, the lettering on the jewelry may also include letters and numbers. For example, "Au" or "G" stands for **, "S" stands for silver, "PT" stands for platinum, "PD" stands for palladium, "GP" or "KP" stands for gold plating, and "KF" stands for gold filled. Together, these letters and numbers form the "ID number" of the jewelry.
In addition, you may have questions about other aspects of your jewelry imprint. For example, what does the "k" in ** mean?In fact, "k" is the unit of measurement in the jewelry world and is used to measure purity. Pure gold is 24k, and in fact, the ** content cannot reach 100% purity. Therefore, there is theoretically no 24k gold, and its maximum content is 9999%。At the same time, different karat gold jewelry contains different proportions of **, such as 9k, 12k, 14k, 18k and 24k, etc. Also, you may have heard the difference between white gold and 18k white gold. In fact, only platinum can be called white gold. And 18K white gold is actually white 18K**, which belongs to a color of K gold. Jackpot is also a type of karat gold that takes on a different color due to the addition of other impurities. But no matter what color of karat gold it is, its value is the same. In summary, the imprints on jewelry are like their "identity cards", recording their history, ** and value. I hope that through this popular science, you can better understand the true identity of jewelry when buying them. Players, if there are any additions or corrections.
