[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4475840, member: 2844"]:kiss: It is upside down, which doesn't matter because it is the same fineness and assay town mark that is also on the ring band. North Africans love punching marks on every surface they can find on a precious item. I have an Algerian pendant with something like twelve marks, maybe more. You have to love them for marking so much though, I wish other countries would follow their example. It would make life for jewellery collectors much easier.;)[/QUOTE]
