Understanding 14K Gold & Manufacturing Stamps (EV2)


Question
Do you know what 14k ev2 means.  This is stamped on a diamond and emerald ring.

Thank you

Answer
Brenda, the only part of the stampings for which I can provide help is the 14k, which is a legal marking for 14 karat gold used to make the ring.  The ev2 is some sort of mark from the manufacturer, whether this is the actual maker's mark or another designation placed in the ring by the maker, having nothing to do with the quality of the metal.

I do hope this is of some benefit to you.  God Bless and Peace, plus happy holidays.  Thomas.
