If the item has clear stones in it, cz stands for cubic zirconia (a semi-precious stone), where as 925 is a hallmark for silver not gold. 9ct golds hallmark is 375.
It is not the weight, it is the fineness/ purity of the gold alters the carat weight. This id done by fractioning and precentages; we all know 24ct is the 100% pure gold.So 9ct is 9/24th's of 100% gold, which equals 37.5%. Hence why the hallmarking is given as parts per thousand of gold ( 9ct = 375)9ct = hallmark 375 = 37.5% gold, 62.5% base metals/alloy18ct = hallmark 750 = 75% gold, 25% base metals/alloy22ct = hallmark 916 = 91.6% gold, 8.4% base metals/alloy24ct = hallmark 990 = 99.0% gold which is the minimum for it to be classed as pure.Gold is mixed with alloys to make it stronger, durable and less malleable, retaining its shape when cast. Therefore 9ct and 18ct is a preferred choice.
375 Gold filled usually means that the bangle has been made hollow with 9ct (375)_ is the hallmark for 9ct. Then filled with a less expensive material like silver or copper to add weight and strength but without the added cost of a solid 9ct bangle.
9ct gold will have a '375' or '9ct' or '9kt' stamped onto it somewhere, gold plated gold won't have this.
