Decoding 14K RS & 'Warranted Gold' Jewelry Markings - Is It Real Gold?


Question
Hello-I have a bracelet that is marked '14K RS' as stated in subject above. I have looked online, but have not found anything that tells me what the 'RS' signifies. Is is real gold and this is a makers mark as I was told at purchase, or was I duped? I also have a bunch of antique button studs all marked 'Warranted Gold'. What does this mean? Thank you for any assistance.

Answer
Hello Jane
RS can be either the manufacturer's mark or the mark of the lab that Hallmarked the jewelry.
The only way to be sure that it is gold is to get it hallmarked at a nearby Hallmarking center.
