Where can I find the meanings of jewelry markings?

Answer by  rbiales (3441)

Jewelry markings are kept in reference books commonly used by jewelers. These aren't in high demand, but in most places in the United States you can find a jeweler's reference on interlibrary loan. There are also book swap services like PBS to try, as well as online and brick and mortar bookshops.

You can look online and find most of the markings that are on jewelry. There is also a book available that can tell you the markings for gold and sliver and other precious metals like platinum. If you take the jewelry to a store they can tell you what the markings are also.
