    European System of Marking
    European countries use a system of millesimal fineness to grade the level of purity of gold. The hallmark, assay mark or standard mark on an item is a form of shorthand, stating the quality of the item. Millesimal fineness marks are rounded to three figures. The number 585 refers to the parts per thousand of gold by mass in an alloy. This means an item marked 585 is 58.5 percent gold. If the item is 585 parts gold, 415 parts are made up of another metal or other metals. Gold marked 585 is the equivalent of 14-karat gold in the U.S.
