9ct or 18ct??

I found some old jewellery of mine but I can't remember if it is 9 or 18ct gold. I am hoping to sell this so would like to know. Any ideas on how I would be able to tell?

Thanks :)

  • There should be a three-digit number as part of the hallmark.

    375 = 9ct
    585 = 14ct
    750 = 18ct
    916 = 22ct

    Hope that helps.

    Shop around and dont take the first price. Definately do not sell to any of the companies where you send by post!!

    Have used Hatton Gardens before & they seem as good as any (especially as they have money in account the same day they receive goods)
