Gross weight of any jewelry piece is the total weight of the item.
This is common where the jewellery item is made with a combination of metals versus a high content value of just gold. For instance, “GF” will be used for gold filled and “GP” will signify gold-plated manufacturing.
OTHER STAMPS FOUND ON GEMPORIA JEWELLERY
With the pieces you get from us, even when items fall below the required weight, you'll still find the Gemporia 'G' stamp and a mark of the metal purity, such as '925' on silver jewellery or '10K' on gold, as long as there's room to stamp the jewellery without damaging it.
Gold Purity Marks
The letter “k” refers to karats, where pure gold is composed of 24 karats (24k). A piece of jewelry with an etching that reads “18k” or “750” indicates that it is made up of 75 percent gold, while a “14k” or “585” mark indicates the metal is constructed with 58.5 percent gold.

Look for Stamps or Hallmarks in Your Gold Jewelry
Most real gold is stamped with a hallmark that indicates its purity, aka its karat. The karat is the unit used to measure the purity of gold. The higher the karat, the purer the gold. The most common karats you'll see are 10k, 14k, 18k, 22K, and 24k.
The Secret of the Diamond W
The Diamond W, the Wellendorff trademark, signs each individual item of jewellery and vouches for the highest level of quality and extraordinary creativity. A full-cut diamond set in 18-karat gold turns it into an exclusive trademark.
Most other letter markings indicate that a piece is gold-plated or gold-filled. Gold-plated pieces may be marked 'GP,' 'GE,' or 'HGE. ' 'GP' or 'GE' means the piece is electroplated with a thin layer of gold; '18K GP' would indicate a piece plated with 18 karat gold.

Inspect the Hallmark
Hallmarks are distinguishing characteristics that are stamped on gold, silver and platinum items - typically to identify the items purity. There are also hallmarks that can identify where the item was made (called a makers mark), the office the metal was tested in, the year, and the designer.
Look for a Letter Mark
If the item of jewelry has the letters GP, GF, or GEP stamped on it, these indicate that it is not made of real gold. GP means it is gold plated, GF means it is gold filled, and GEP means it is gold electroplate. That is, the jewelry is made of some other metal with a thin layer of gold on top.
What to do: Hold the magnet up to the gold. If it's real gold it will not stick to the magnet. (Fun fact: Real gold is not magnetic.) Fake gold, on the other hand, will stick to the magnet.
The most common order of hallmarks from left to right is; sponsor, fineness (purity) and assay office. Other hallmarks after these are optional. Date letter and any commemorative marks for example are optionally added but, you will most likely see these if the hallmark is being featured for decorative purposes.
G-color is the top diamond color grade in the near-colorless color range. These are diamonds that professionals can tell have a slight tint of color but that appear colorless to the rest of us.
The difference in color between these two grades is very subtle and can be difficult to detect without a trained eye and side-by-side comparison. F is considered to be a slightly higher quality color grade than G because it is one grade higher on the color scale.
The colour quality is G, meaning this is a bright white diamond. Expert knowledge is needed to identify any colour tint. In other words, these diamonds can essentially be considered near colourless. The clarity quality is Vs. This is an abbreviation for “very slight”, referring to inclusions, or indeed lack of them.
