925 is a standard sign used to mark sterling silver, and the meaning of the stamp is that the silver content in the piece is 92.5% (i.e., the remaining 7.5% is comprised of other elements). Perhaps because the âgoldâ jewelry you are looking at is not actually made of gold.
As a rule, the weight and karat of the gold determines its value. Ten-karat gold means that it has 42% gold content and 58% other metals. Fourteen-karat gold is actually 58% pure gold and about 75% of the content of 18-karat jewelry is gold. Therefore, a piece of 14-karat gold jewelry that weighed about an ounce would be worth $928, or 58% of $1,600 -- the current market value.
