[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9545880, member: 2844"]Germany did too, and they often marked it as 333 without any other marks. The Netherlands also uses 20k, but it is hallmarked. I'm sure other European countries use it too, but most would also use proper hallmarks. It doesn't look like 20k gold though, more like 8k. Nothing about it says Portugal to me. Portugal doesn't use 8k, but it does use 20k. Portuguese gold would be hallmarked though, just like gold from most other European countries.[/QUOTE]
