I just purchased a diamond ring that has 18KT 0.15 stamped on it. I would recommending having your bracelet checked by a local gemologist, if you need to be sure. However, when giving a gift to someone, its a good idea to consider the meaning of the symbols, if any, to ensure that the gift is well received. It is engraved very deeply with a name in cursive opposite of a marking of 14-K. Curious about the dash and the period after a capital K.
