The Fools Gold

We sent a bunch of gold jewelry off to a good gold buyer and they sent back some bracelets that were clearly marked 14k mexico, 14k Italy. Was just wondering why they would send some back but buy over $700 dollars worth of gold and silver???

I’m sure they sent the pieces back because they weren’t gold. The karat markings have nothing to do with what’s really in the metal.
One can purchase a karat marking stamp and stamp their currency or their car or any other metal objects, yet those heretofore steel, copper, nickel, etc. objects aren’t magically transformed into gold by virtue of a stamping.
