¿Qué es un sello de 14k y 925 Italia en mi collar de oro y mi encanto significan?

14K is obvious, pero 925 refers to silver, so I would say this stamped mark indicates gold plated over silver which is common, if not a little confusing for 14K is usually not stamped on gold plated jewelry, so this is a way to get around the standards in industry. I hope you didn’t pay as if it was solid 14K gold.

What do the markings SU 1925 925 Italy mean on a beautiful almost white-looking herringbone necklace I have with an extremely clear pink stone?

If the piece appears to be handcrafted SU is probably a maker's mark, either an individual silversmith or the company that contracts tradesmen to do finer pieces. El 1925 is not a production date, as Italy required date “codes" entre 1937 un 1974, typically a letter in a specifically shaped box. It COULD be a date, perhaps of the production house's founding, pero sería tan confuso que sería muy poco probable, y ya no es costumbre fechar las joyas de plata. No digo que no suceda, pero tengo motivos para dudar.

La razón principal por la que lo dudo es la 925, que además de indicar la pureza de la plata de la pieza, También nos dice algo sobre la antigüedad de la pieza desde el 925 no fue aceptado como marca de pureza hasta 1974, cuando los miembros de la comunidad europea acordaron aceptarlo. fue aceptado, pero rara vez apareció solo antes de la década de 1990. pero mientras 925 solo PUEDE usarse para representar el estándar esterlina, cuando los chinos comenzaron a estamparlo en cada metal blanco que producían, en cierto modo disparó ese atajo al infierno. Hoy en día, a 925 El sello por sí solo significa muy poco en términos del contenido real de plata.. pero tu 925 no esta solo, so it's a safe bet its representing for the sterling standard.

How much is 925 Italian silver worth?

1. A stamp of 925 medio, literally, nothing except that the item being sold purports to be 92.5% plateado puro. Anyone can, literally, buy a stamp that reads “925” and stamp anything at all with it: cobre, madera, plástico, broccoli. While it offers some assurance that the item is sterling silver, it in itself is not reliable. I believe that, en los estados unidos, such a quality stamp needs to be accompanied with a registered hallmark, for accountability.
2. The weight of the piece, multiplied by 0.925, is the weight of the silver in the piece, if the stamp is accurate.
3. You will not get the spot price for that amount of silver. Primero, fabrication makes a big difference; a good-quality chain is worth far more than the silver in it, Por ejemplo. Segundo, even if you considered the piece scrap metal, the refiners do not pay 100% of the spot price of the metal; they have costs in melting it down and refining it, so pay only a percentage of the value of the silver. Además, if you go through a middleman (which you will likely need to do, since most refiners do not deal with odd pieces from the general public), the middleman also needs to make some money for collecting your silver along with others, testing it, and sending it to the refiner. On the plus side, the larger the quantity of scrap the refiner gets, the more they pay, so that’s a help. I would expect something like 50–75% of the calculated spot price if you are selling your sterling as scrap.
