Because of different gold testing practices acid & stone test vs. S Authenticity Guarantee electronic gold testing machine, actual gold contents of the jewelry may vary 1k – 2k from what we list it as. (10k could be 8-11k, 14k could be 12-15k, 18k could be 16-19k etc). This is especially true for vintage & antique jewelry since before 1981 jewelry manufacturers could round up from 13.5k & still stamp as 14k, etc. Different plumb solder (slightly higher or lower carat) can also contribute to this discrepancy.

Within the above parameters. All unidentified stones will be marked as such. All of our diamonds are graded while they are already set in the jewelry.
