Hi there! This question has been on my mind for quite a while, does a 14k/18k stamped really reflects on the gold content? Is there a possibility for a dishonest seller to stamp ''18k'' on a 14k ring mount? TIA

You've just discovered something that happens all the time by shady jewelers. Under carating gold, or stamping gold plated metal with gold hallmarks has been going on for ages.Date: 6/9/2010 12:25:26 PM
