Carat value is not the only value in jewelry; craftsmanship, age, demand on the market, and the gems in the piece all contribute to the final value of any jewelry.
A coin used as jewelry has very little if any collectible value, most dealers will not even touch them.
It depends on the piece of jewelry and how much gold it contains.
The 525 stamp typically indicates that the piece is sterling silver, which is a precious metal commonly used in jewelry. Stainless steel items would not typically bear this stamp, as stainless steel is a different material often used for its durability and resistance to tarnishing.
