<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9504742, member: 10944"]This was sold to me as 9K with no mention of marks. I thought I saw marks and that’s why I bought it. I was dubious of the 9K testament as the seller seemed to call everything 9K without marks and I doubted their testing skills. Now that I have it I have no clue what the marks are unfortunately. I was hoping for easy to ID European marks. These look middle eastern? Filigree is popular in the middle East I think but the symbolism probably isn’t. So made for export I guess or for tourists? It’s nicely made I think. There’s black on the tip of the anchor. Not sure what’s up with that. Could be grunge. It appears to be solid gold but I can’t be sure. Don’t really want to scrape this delicate piece and not sure where my acid is. Any thought on marks or piece overall? Pretty blue enamel on it too. I couldn’t find another like it.
