Decimal Formula For Gold Jewelry
Monday, April 30, 2007 17:19| Recommended Products: |
Ring Markings Question: I purchased an antique and diamond ring recently.
GOLD METAL TESTING KIT WITH 5 NEEDLES
Price: $51.90 USD
The only markings inside the band are either "698" or "693". It actually looks like 698 on one side and 693 on the other.
I had it tested. The jeweler said it does not test gold, silver or platinum, however, the opal and diamonds are real and appear to be of good quality.
Any ideas on what this number means?
Thank you.
Answer: G'day and many thanks for your query.
The basic decimal formula to work out the quality of gold content is quite simple, as they are all measured in 'Parts per Thousand.'
This means that 9ct gold is calculated like this:
9 (for 9ct) is divided by pure gold (24) and then multiplied by 1000 (for pure gold as a decimal). ie: 9/24*1000=375
