<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 612346, member: 36"]KP generally denotes plumb gold - gold content that's smack on whatever karatage it's marked. American manufacturers are allowed a bit of leeway over or under exact gold percentages and the plumb designation means it's bang on. It's possible this could be gold plate too, but that's generally marked EP rather than just P. The emerald might be simulated, synthetic or lab-grown or might be earth-mined. Sometimes even jewelers have a tough time telling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
