I have a large gold ring (48 grams ) with marks of 14K and M.C.G.
I can't identify what marking M.C.G. Means on my ring.
Does these marks on my ring mean its real gold!
Am I to understand, the stamp 14K (585) means - 58.5%, or 14 karat gold.
M.C.G. - hallmarked in US or Europe ?
Can you possibly identify this? Thank you.

Well the 14k stands for 14 karat
Jewelry usually don't have hallmarks on it. Definitely you wouldn't have it on a ring...
MCG might be the owners initials...
Or the makers marks...
