H.G.E. stands for Heavy Gold Electroplate, so it's not solid gold but gold plate on some base metal. Gold plate has the look of real gold without the cost of solid gold, so is commensurately less valuable.

Is a ring marked 10-14 kt hge worth anything?

The ring may be worth something to somebody, but it holds no gold value. the "10-14K" marking means 10K to 14K gold. The "HGE" marking mean "Heavy Gold Electroplate". So, altogether, the entire marking means the ring is plated with an alloy that is at least 10K, but no more than 14K, gold.Visit the link below to learn more about gold markings and silver markings.

What does sts 14k mean inside a ring?

STS is a jewelry company, so that's the maker's mark. 14K means it's 14/24 karat (58.5%) gold, unless it's followed by GP, HGE, GEP, or something similar.


It's a ring 18 kt HGE real gold?

If something is stamped "18K HGE" it is not real gold. The letters "HGE" is a quality mark used for costume jewelry, and it stands for "Heavy Gold Electroplate". The item that is electroplated has a very thin layer of gold that has been applied to its base metal, which is usually brass. This is considered "costume" jewelry since it is not gold through and through. 18KT HGE is absolutely REAL gold and in fact, the electroplating on HGE is "heavy" therefore it is quite good quality. Just because the ring is not solid gold doesn't mean the gold isn't real. The peice you have, if it appears in good condition, is very good quality.
