What does it mean? Is it a serial number? A code? A guarantee of quality?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">It's all three, in a way.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The number 750 is a hallmark \u2014 an internationally recognised mark that tells you exactly what the gold in your jewellery is made of.

It is the European millesimal fineness system \u2014 a way of expressing gold purity as parts per thousand. 750 parts out of 1,000 are pure gold; the remaining 250 parts are other metals added to give the gold its strength and colour.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In the karat system used widely in the UK and US, 750 gold is the same as <strong>18-karat (18K) gold<\/strong>.

Left unmixed, it bends, scratches, and deforms with very little force. That's why gold jewellery is almost always made from an alloy: a blend of gold and other metals that preserves the beauty while adding the durability needed for everyday wear.<\/p><p

Over time this plating can wear through on high-contact pieces like rings, revealing a slightly warmer tone beneath. Re-plating is a simple, inexpensive service.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>A note on nickel sensitivity:<\/strong> Some white gold alloys use nickel rather than palladium. Nickel can cause skin reactions in people with sensitive skin or nickel allergies.

band, a meaningful gift \u2014 18K gold's richer colour, higher value, and status as the global fine jewellery standard makes it the better choice. 14K suits buyers who prioritise affordability or need a piece that withstands very active daily use.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">750 (18K) vs 375 (9K)<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">9K gold, common in the UK mass market, contains just 37.5% pure gold. While it is harder and cheaper, the colour is noticeably paler and it carries far less intrinsic value. 9K is suitable for fashion jewellery, but for anything intended to last generations or carry emotional significance, 18K is the appropriate standard.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">750 (18K) vs 999 (24K)<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Pure 24K gold is stunning but impractical for wearable jewellery \u2014 it is soft enough to be scratched by a fingernail. It is primarily used for bullion, investment coins, and certain traditional ceremonial pieces. For jewellery that is meant to be worn and enjoyed, 18K strikes the optimal balance between purity and durability.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-276dc94 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"276dc94\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f680643 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f680643\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to Identify a 750 Gold Hallmark<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-329d614 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"329d614\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The 750 hallmark is stamped directly onto the metal, usually in a location discreet enough not to affect appearance but accessible enough to verify.

Here are the main methods, from simplest to most accurate:<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">1. Visual Hallmark Inspection<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Start here. Look for a clear, sharp 750 stamp. Genuine stamps are:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Deeply pressed into the metal<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Consistent in depth and clarity<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Often accompanied by a maker's mark<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Faint, uneven, or painted-looking stamps are a warning sign.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">2. Magnet Test<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Gold is not magnetic. Hold a strong magnet close to the piece. If it's strongly attracted, the item contains ferrous (iron-based) metals and is not solid 18K gold. However, this test has limits \u2014 some fake gold metals are also non-magnetic, so a negative result doesn't confirm authenticity on its own.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">3. Scratch \/ Streak Test<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Rub the piece against an unglazed ceramic testing stone. Genuine gold leaves a gold-coloured streak; base metals typically leave black or grey marks. This is more reliable than the magnet test but can still be fooled by gold-filled pieces.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">4. Acid Test<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">A nitric acid testing kit, available from jewellery supply shops, can confirm 18K gold reliably. Rub the piece on a testing stone, apply 18K test acid to the streak, and observe: if the streak remains, the gold is genuine at 18K or above; if it dissolves or discolours, the gold content is lower or absent. This is the standard method used by pawnbrokers and second-hand jewellers.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">5. XRF Testing (Professional)<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">For valuable pieces \u2014 heirlooms, antiques, or high-value purchases \u2014 X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning is the gold standard. It identifies exact metal composition without any damage to the piece. Any reputable jeweller or assay office can perform this test. At Provence Jewellery, every piece carries a full certificate of authenticity \u2014 so you never need to question what you've received.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-2897dff e-flex

Multiply the current gold price per gram by 0.75 to get the melt value of your piece's gold content. For example, if gold is trading at \u00a365\/gram, a 5-gram 750 gold piece contains approximately \u00a3243.75 worth of gold by weight.
