    I can't see any hallmark, just a makers mark. Is it marked 18 carat anywhere.
     
  3. I added two other pictures. One of the other side of the tag which has 18k and Italy on it and one of the back of the pendant which just has 18k on it. Can you identify what makers mark this is?

    It really does not matter, make something up if you want to. :)

    There are lots of modern jewellery makes in Italy today, and the value is in the gold scap. If you can get 10% over scrap, that's about it, I think.
    Looks like about 10 to 12 grams.

    Might be worth a bit of research. If it's one of those poncy stupid designers people pay silly money for, that would add a bit more to the scrap.

    If it is Italian it may have the goldsmith's mark somewhere. But if made strictly for export, I am unsure if the marks are required. I have seen LOTS of gold, both real and fake marked Italy, but the 18k vs 750 always makes me leery.

    Just a thought, I am NOT implying yours is not genuine.

    Hildago uses an H. I thought I had a photograph of the mark but I can't find it. Some of their jewelry marks have the entire name and some have just the H.
