Hallmark's

In jewelry, the hallmark "ALE MET" or "MET/ALE R" indicates a gold-plated or rose gold-plated item. Specifically, "MET" signifies yellow gold plating, while "ALE R/MET R" denotes rose gold plating. These marks are used on jewellery items that have a core of another metal, like sterling silver, and are then plated with a layer of gold or rose gold

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • ALE: This is the maker's mark, representing Algot Enevoldsen, the father of Pandora's founder.
  • MET: This mark indicates that the item is plated with yellow gold.

  • ALE R/MET R: This mark indicates that the item is plated with rose gold.

  • S925: Indicates sterling silver.

  • G585: Indicates 14k gold (58.5% pure gold).
