The initials K.P. when found on a piece of gold jewelry indicate that the piece of jewelry is not one hundred percent gold, but only plated with gold. K.P. stands for "karat plate."

What does 14KP stylecrest mean on a gold ring?

" 14K P" is solid gold. The P, does not stand for plated, but PLUMB, meaning exactly being of 14K content - solid 14K. The term 14KP stands for "karat plumb" gold---meaning exactly 14K....no more, no less. KP does NOT, I repeat does NOT mean plated. It is solid 14K gold. Karat weights are usually determined with a small, fractional variance allowed by law. Katar gold which has NO fractional variance at all is called "plumb" gold -- typically identified with a "KP" hallmark. Thinking KP means gold plate is a common mis-conception. Just Google 14KP and you'll get the entire explanation of the origin. Stylecrest is a brand name-that of a ring manufacturer
