I have 6.64g of Au 750 (18K?)

nibanny

I found some earrings, a pendant and a couple of very nice button covers, all in gold 750.

If my math is correct, the gold content should be 0.16 toz.
At today's spot it should be approx $280.

How much can I really make out of it?

Thanks for your help!

Is the gold marked 18k?

Never heard of any marked 750.

The gold is marked 750. All the items come from Italy, that may be the reason of the different marking.

18K gold is marked 750 to indicate 75% gold

I concur!

Sorry, I don't know what you could really make out of it. But I would love to know what a "button cover" is?

A decently dealer offer will probably be in the 70-80% of melt value range, in my experience.

Twinturbo

$200-225

I wasn't sure on how to call them (I am not american ).
You use them to cover the buttons on your shirt's cuffs. Similar to cufflinks.
I will post a picture later.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

It is a little star.


These are the button covers. How do you call them?

It is rare in my experience for cuff links to be karat gold, especially 18K. They are usually gold filled or plated or just plain brass. A jeweler would be able to test them to determine what they really are.

Italy. I wonder why they do not use the international format for marking gold.

Last question, is it magnetic?

Just a check to be sure.

My local shop pays 90% of melt if gold is rising. 80% if gold is falling. He looks at one week trends.

I often wonder why you use farenheit, pounds, fl ounces and miles!
Joking aside, 750 are the parts per thousand parts of gold.

Not magnetic, it is gold, no doubt about it. My mum bought them for me a while back from our trusted jewelry in my hometown.

These are not cufflinks, they are hollow, so no filling. See the back here below.

Looks like a good karat stamp and trademark to me. 90% of melt would be a good offer.

Just following up to share my experience.

I sold everything on eBay and netted approx 85% of melt value.
The button covers sold like jewelry, not scrap, well over their melt.

I'm glad they did.
I had never seen button covers before.
Very unique.

don't know where you shop, I have several pair and I know for a fact they are 14 and 18k gold.
