Question
Hi, i have a 5 strand VicencE popcorn watch, I cannot find any hallmarks except for on the back of the watch which has 9K ITALY MILOR stamped on it. Can you tell me if it is real gold or not.  Many thanks

Answer
HI MAUREEN,

WELL IN THE U.K. IT IS CONSIDERED REAL GOLD. THE '9K' STAMP SAYS IT IS 9 KARAT GOLD MADE IN ITALY WHICH IS NOT CONSIDERED REAL GOLD IN THE U.S.  24 KARAT IS 'PURE' GOLD, 100%. 9K IS 38%, 14K IS 57.5% AND 18K IS 75% PURE GOLD. NICE WATCH.

PETER
