Probably because there is a metal spring in the clasp. It does not mean the clasp is not gold.
'This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.' -Just want to edit that last disgraceful response and say although I don't know the answer, I too was looking for information on this subject, out of pure interest. My mac's power input has a very convenient magnet on it, which keeps the plug from falling out of the laptop, I was wondering if the magnet would in any way change the movement of electricity going into my laptop. Whoever gave that last answer, you must be very stuck up.
the pat can refer to patented,patenting or could also be that the owners name was inscribed into the piece. generally on finer pieces,the company's intials may be inscribed or the jewelry makers initials.
14 kt GE , means it has a very thin layer of 14kt gold over it (gold eletroplated) ESPO was an Us brand , famous in the 60's and 70's , so it menas the ring has got quite a value as a vintage The 'ESPO' is short for Esposito, he's still designing jewelry (has a range on QVC) so the ring isn't necessarily worth any more as a vintage.
Rings for men can be made of various types of metals including gold, silver, platinum, titanium, and stainless steel. Each metal has its own unique properties and characteristics, allowing men to choose the type of ring that suits their style and preferences.
14 k = how good the gold is - 10k not as pure - 24k Best there is. K = karat. (for diamonds it's spelled carat) GP = gold plated - Gold coating on outside of another metal - (like painting a bottle cap with gold) hope that helps ya.
I'd like to add to this question. The necklace is a men's chain necklace and it does say "14kt Italy" on the clasp. However, I scratched the clasp and the gold flaked off. The chain itself looks like gold. The clasp was quickly attracted to a magnet, however the chain was only slightly magnetic. I'm confused how this could be fake if it is stamped 14kt...
A 14kt gold necklace is worth about $70-$500 at the most!!!
14 kt or 14 k refers to pureness of the gold or gold plating. Pure gold is 24 karat. There is nothing in your description that would help determine whether the necklace is 1 week old or 200 years old.
It depends on how large the pearls are and if they are real. They can cost anywhere from $179 to $1,020. Look here for examples of an 18 inch pearl necklace with a 14k gold clasp. http://www.pearlnecklacesource.com/categories/Pearl-Necklaces/

If you are referring to 14kt gold plating, then yes it will look like genuine 14kt gold. Gold plating is designed to produce the look of gold and it is very effective because it is a layer of real gold covering. There are a few ways you can determine if something is gold plated vs real, solid gold. #1: Use a magnet: Real gold is not magnetic. If your jewelry is attracted to the magnet, it is probably not real gold. #2: Do a visual inspection around the edges of the jewelry. If the jewelry has been worn a bit, the edges will usually wear the most. If the piece is merely gold plated, you will often see the underlying metal coming through.
