If "18k ge" is a mark on jewelry, it means that the piece is 18 karat gold electroplated, not solid gold.
18 kt GE means that the jewelry is made up of 18 karat gold plate. The GE stands for gold electroplate.
If something if 14k, it is 14 karat gold. The GE portion would mean that part of the jewelry is not solid gold.
It means "G"old "E"lectroplate. In other words, the jewelry is plated with gold. It is not solid gold.
If you look closer, you probably will see that the mark is not OE, but '''GE'''. On jewelry, GE means Gold Electroplate. Federal standards for gold electroplate (G.E.) are that the gold must be at least 7 mils (millionths of an inch) of an inch thick and of a fineness of 10K (karat) or better.

It almost always means that the piece of jewelry is Gold Plated over a Silver piece of Jewelry I work in the jewelry business and the above answer is incorrect. 585 is the stamp for a peice that is 14K gold. If it is plated it will have additional letters such as GE for gold electroplate or GF for gold filled. If it is stamped 585 P that stands for plum and has been tested to be 14K solid gold.
Ge stands for gold electroplate, meaning gold plated. This means it is not solid gold filled, only covered in gold. This means the ring is not a fake.
If jewelry is marked 10k only, It means it's 10karet gold. If it say 10k ge or hge, it means it is gold plated.
