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.

<>373 refers to the karat weight, or percentage, of gold and is a European marking. 373 = 37.3% gold and is equivalent to 9K. 10K would be 417 for 41.7%, etc.

it's 9 carat (37.3% pure).

Also, it's worth about as much as 9 carrots. It's cheap, H Samuel bling.
