Decoding Gold Charm Markings: Understanding 14KPB & 14KDB


Question
I have a gold colored cross charm,there is some kind of hallmark that I cant make out followed by 14KPB or 14KDB,anything you can tell me is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Chrissy ,

While its not my area of expertise , I have had similar questions  like this , and have done some research  on them. It would be that the charms are stamped  14KPB    meaning 14k gold plated base metal . Often these charms are made this way , otherwise they would be seriously expensive. I hope that helps . best regards Rod Keady
