Heart Pendant
Thursday, January 18, 2007 15:36Heart Pendant Question: I have a heart pendant necklace.
It is stamped 14k but the only marking i can find on the rope chain is SAK.
Price: $16.47 USD
Can you please tell me - what does that mean?
You can find my answer below….
Answer: G’day and many thanks for your query
The SAK is simply a Maker’s Mark or Design ID or even a Store name. It is not part of the Hallmark as we think of it - simply an identification mark.
You should have a stamp somewhere on the chain though - if it is gold. Usually found near or ON the clasp - or on a little tag - next to the clasp.
To be sure I would suggest you drop it in to your local FRIENDLY jeweler and have them take a quick look at it. Usually they wouldn’t charge you for a verbal opinion - but if it needs testing - then they will charge a fee.
You might like to add this problem to my blog at: http://how2valuejewelry.com/ as someone may have come across this mark before and could add more to the solution.
Can’t harm anyway….
Hope this helps.
