925 is not gold at all, the material is actually sterling silver. If it appears golden in color..... it is dipped for a cheap way to give the appearance. Gold will have 10k, 14k, 18k, 24k etc. prominently engraved as it is worth exponentially more. Remember, there is white gold that can be undersold as silver if not marked correctly, white gold that must be differentiated from the more expensive platinum; thus the markings.

it is the ammount of gold or silver per 1000 weight. 925 is 10k Gold most often if it doesn't indicate it is plated... and many glod pieces don't say 10k or 14k but 925 and 975.

these are the proper hallmarks 24 Karat Gold - 24K or 999 22 Karat Gold - 22K or 917 21 Karat Gold - 21K or 875 18 Karat Gold - 18K or 750 14 Karat Gold - 14K or 585 10 Karat Gold - 10K or 417 9 Karat Gold - 9K or 375 14 Karat Gold filled - 14K GF or 14K/20 Sterling Silver - 925 Pure Silver - 999 the ratio is A/24=B for example 10/24=0.417 therefor 10K=417

Hello, I am alergic to fake gold even silver that has been covered in gold. I can only wear 10k 14k 24k, now I have a piece that has the number 925. No problem, no reaction on skin. I think that 925 is real gold.
