Markings on a Gold Ring Question: Hi David, I recently purchased an 18kt yellow gold ring from a home shopping channel.
Buccellati: Art in Gold, Silver and Gems
Price: $27.75
On the inside is stamped AU 18kt Turkey.
I also purchased an 18kt yellow gold bracelet. The stamp says AU 18kt Italy.
Am assuming the ring is made in Turkey and the bracelet in Italy.
What does AU stand for?
thank you
Patricia... 
Answer: G'day Patricia and many thanks for your query.
You have a very beautiful name (I have to say that because my wife's name is Patricia and she's standing right next to me right now!) 
The items are correctly identified as 18 karat or carat - depending what part of the world you come from, so there is no problem there, or with the country of origin.

The AU is simply the two letter code on the Chemical Elements Table for... You guessed it - GOLD.
Unless you live near me, where it ALSO is the two letter code for AUSTRALIA - Phew!
