Usually the symbols and markings are indicators of the type of gold involved - such as 14k which is 14 karat, and the mark is the jewelry company logo.

Karat weight is the amount of gold versus the amount of metal in each ring. For example, 14kt would be 14 parts gold and 10 parts metal. The higher the karat weight the softer the gold. Pure gold is 24 karats, and is not strong enough to make jewelry, so metal is added to make it stronger.
