The 10K stand for the karat weight of the metal, normaly used for gold and platinum. The OB may stand for many things. Im sure someone will correct me on this, but i dont know of any metals used in jewlery that is named as OB. It could be the makers mark, as many crafters used to put their initials on things, much as many artists sign their paintings or have signature trademarks.
