What does EMB mean on gold jewelry?
Hi MyBestAnswer members, I have a question about gold jewelry. Specifically, what does "EMB" mean when it is marked on a piece of gold jewelry? Could someone please provide an answer? Thank you!

If the back of the jewelry is marked something like "10k EMB cTo," sources suggest that "EMB" stands for emblem, meaning that the emblem is 10k, but the item is embedded with another material.
"cTo" is the trademark used by O. C. Tanner Jewelry Co., Salt Lake City.
Of all the marks that could be on your jewelry, the one that indicates the carat weight is probably the most important. Carat weight can be written in a variety of different ways, as there is no standard and each manufacturer has its preferred method. You can commonly see it written as 10k or .417 for 10 karat gold (either white or yellow). 14 karat gold may be written as 14k or .585 (again, either white or yellow).
Carat weights are the second most common stamp on jewelry and indicate the weight of the diamond or gemstone.
Solid gold jewelry is a purchase that you will be able to enjoy for life, even generations, so before you make a purchase, it is wise to educate yourself on the different standards of gold available.
