Hallmarking, also known as assay or standard marking, is the official quality control mark that determines the purity of gold and other precious metals.
The stamp or etch "14kt" and "14K" both signify 14 karat gold; authentic gold jewelry should have a stamp indicating the purity of the gold in the piece. "PC" could either mean "Gold Plated on Copper" or may be a designation for "Plumb Gold Coinage."
The second mark can also be the maker’s mark or a jeweler’s stamp; sometimes they are letters or initials (like “P C”), and sometimes they are ornate icons (such as a heart or a bell, for example).

The Hallmarking Act 1973 stipulates the use of symbols to identify the precious metal, such as for 14 carat gold, which is marked "585"; this millesimal stamp number indicates the precious metal content.
According to Reuters, gold has already lost nearly a quarter of its value this year amid speculation that the U.S. central bank will soon begin rolling back its $85 billion monthly bond purchases. Find out more here.
