[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 461386, member: 2844"]The link you added was answers.com, not a very trustworthy site. The link you added was for streetdirectory.com. Not a gold jewelry authenticating site. Any site that claims to a authenticate gold jewelry is not to be trusted, imo. When in doubt, as you should be with unusual finenesses or marks, it is best to check assay offices or well respected books on precious metals. Here is a site I always recommend to anyone starting out in exploring European precious metal marking: [URL]https://theassayoffice.com/legislation/international-convention-marks-a[/URL] I live in Europe, by the way, and am an advisor for a European gold and silver jewellery site, part of a general information site on collectables. We don't claim to authenticate precious metal finenesses, only explain styles, marks, assay systems, etc.[/QUOTE]
