QuestionMy friend purchased a diamond (silver/w/ 3 diamonds) ring and the markings inside state 14kt zp - what does zp mean?
AnswerMonica, the letters "zp" mean nothing to me as far as the quality of the metal or the ring is concerned. The federal law (USA) has well defined terms for metal markings and this is not one of them.
The law also requires the maker to put the makers trademark beside the quality mark(14k). I believe this is the makers mark. I do not do research on who makes what since this is generally a rabbit chase and the rabbit disappears down a hole or into a briar patch. : )
Monica, I would not be concerned with the "zp" since it is not related to the quality of the ring. If you need more info or if this is not clear to you, please use the follow-up option to get back and I will do what I can for you.
Thanks for the question. Appreciated.
