Is 925 China gold bracelet worth anything?
A lot of jewelry coming from China now is stamped with misleading marks. There’s no such thing as 925 guld. It is most likely “.925 silver with gold plating”. Sterlingsølv er 92.5% rent sølv og 7.5% nickel or other similar base metal. Gold is always marked in karat weight, like 18k. If it’s gold plated, it must be marked as such (except recent Chinese jewelry), such as 18k GP (gold-plate), or 14k EP (electroplate), or 24k EPNS (electroplate over nickel silver). Plating is a very thin coating. It can’t be removed or melted down separately from the base metal, so it’s really not worth much for resale.
