<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 109410, member: 44&quot;]Forgot to add that Russian 583 gold finesse equals 14kt. 583 is sometimes denoted with the 2 digit number 56.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>In Russia, two-digit numbers refer to zolotniks, which convert to thousandths, e.g., 56 = 583 (14k), 84 = 875 silver (or 21k gold), . Between 1896 and 1908, the national mark was the left profile of a woman’s head wearing a diadem (“kokoshnik”). From 1908 to 1917, a right-facing profile was used. After the Russian Revolution, the mark was a right-facing worker’s profile with a hammer, and the fineness in thousandths.&quot;</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>At the moment don&#039;t know what the other marks represent.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Edit: Just realized af already ID this cuff link as 14k!</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>--- Susan </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
