Identifying Gold Marks

Post by biznett »

Could someone please identify these markings on this bracelet, I have tried but I still cannot find the information on the maker and date of bracelet. I hope the pictures are viewable and contain 3 images. Thanks

Pics are a little unclear but certainly the 585 is the purity mark for 14 carat gold. Doesn't matter much where it came from but scrap weights do matter when considering selling a gold item. I have found the best scrap gold prices site to be Baird and Co of Hatton Garden London. If you weigh your bracelet in grams and go to the site you can establish a scrap value....as a gold item it can be worth another 15-20% in general unless it is something special.
Best wishes, Mike

Bracelet

Post by dnl »

They are great marks that I have not seen in person but believe it to be a bracelet that was made in Russia and imported to Latvia. (very cool) I would like to see the reverse (2nd shot better) but the front side of the mark is 14k gold with the queen's profile in such a position that it indicates import. The second smaller lozenge appears to be the same queens profile but in the diamond shape which refers to platinum(?). Are there any platinum fittings or embellishments? The reverse is a bit reflective so I can't tell for sure but the mark looks Russian. Would like to see a better shot of the underside.

Does that help?
