It’s Egyptian in origin. Had been saving the bag for a rainy day at my families home. Nothing like an un-searched bag of jewelry when you need a little thrill, lol. Have gone through a couple handfuls while visiting the last couple nights. I actually have some Egyptian silver and some Egyptian gold so I’m somewhat familiar with their hallmarks. This one I’m unsure. It looks like it could be low purity gold. I know they are known for using high purity gold so not sure what to think there. It could be a vermeil type process I guess. It could just be a date or maker mark? It looks like a 300 but may not be. It’s not a full set of hallmarks that’s for sure. Any help appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
