on my bracelett lock there’s a stamp that says
SAK 14K
does it mean it’s 14K or is it a gold dipped?

“SAK” is a manufacturer’s hallmark. It is like a trademark that tells who made it. In most countries it is a legal requirement that a manufacturer includes a hallmark stamp near the composition (or karat) stamp. We use a stylized ‘S’. The 14K signifies that it is 14 karat gold (58.3% gold by weight, 14 out of every 24 grams are gold, the rest being alloy)
