    I recently bought my wife a 14k white gold ring in the USA. As she has fingers the thickness of knitting needles it was made smaller. when we got back I noticed the 14k stamp was gone as this was in the middle of the inner surface of the ring and had been cut out when they resized it. I took it to the PM to confirm in their XRF that it was 14k - which was confirmed. How do I get it re-stamped. I have a certificate from the manufacturer. It is not a very expensive ring but would be nice to have a 14k stamp?

    The jeweller is in the US and I am back in Aus - will any jeweller do it based on the certificate or will they want an assay ?

    The point within a circle...
    This is likely as 14k is an American trend in gold purity for jewellery.

    Australian Jewellers don't tend to make 14k as a general rule, but an assayer may be able to stamp it - quick google search should help you.

    That or stamp it yourself as SS suggested :)

    Hi thanks for all the help. Picked up a stamp from freebay for $7.25 including postage from an Australian site. I will let you know how it goes.
    Cheers
