Purity stamps
A purity stamp is the only confirmation people have on the percentage of precious metal in an item. A purity stamp is a three-digit stamp that indicates the purity that sellers promise when selling the product. For example the purity stamp 585 indicates that the product contains 58,5% pure gold.
