How do I identify gold markings on jewelry?

Answer by  rbiales (3441)

Roll the item in your fingers until the light hits across the mark. It helps for very faint marks to have some rosin on hand so that you can rub a little over the mark, making the writing dull in comparison to the gold.

There are several places online where you can check on maker's marks. You can also check on it through books at the local library.
