There’s several ways purity is marked. The main two are karat system and thousandths. 333, 375, 417, 583, 585, 750, 917, 999 are all gold. Silver will be 800 925 950 and 999. Platinum will be 950, 999. For this reason I can’t tell you how many times I bought silver that ended up being platinum. The karat system we use in America makes this confusion less likely. The thousands is European and Asian system.

Loup for Checking Reflections of facets. Diamonds are generally Single Facets when viewed internally.

The raised parts of the design show lighter than the still gold plated parts that don’t get rubbed as much. Since I see the jump ring has significant wear to its primary layer that’s a good spot to see the base metal. If you see that the metal is different there than that’s a good clue. Always check is an item is magnetic as well. Don’t confuse grime and dirt for the base metal. You should see it white or dark brown like copper if it’s not gold. Gold can be just slightly less yellow over there due to some wear and dirt.
