Judging the value of a piece of real alloy jewelry comes when you understand the different types of gold used in jewelry making. The labels and markings can be very misleading if you don't have a working knowledge of gold to begin with. The labels will only give you a name. They really tell you nothing about the actual content or value of the jewelry piece. Understanding the value of a piece of jewelry has to do mainly with what it’s made of. Knowing what you are actually getting when you see the stamps or the wording on the tag will assure you that you’re getting the greatest value for your money.
