- How To Read Jewelry Marks
by Victor Epand. The number markings on precious gold jewelry are a bit of confusion to lots of people. We are generally used to seeing a karat or silver mark like this: 10K, 14K, 18K, Sterling, etc. The numbers mean the same thing.

What you must watch out for is bye in the jade. Many unscrupulous bealers enhance the color with bye. This is especialy true of violet jade. Basically the only thing that could damage jade is other pieces of jade or diamonds. ... products, articles, news
- To Care For Your Opal Jewelry
