What does 373 stamped on gold jewellry mean?
I just got a pair of earrings that have a hallmark that is too small to read and the number 373 stamped on the studs. They are gold with a square diamond-like stone under a white gold bow. I say “diamond-like” as I don’t for a moment believe they are real diamonds. They are from Fraser Hart jewellers in England. Any help would be appreciated.
If you look closer, it should read .375
