Featured Italian ''gold'' necklace

Hey folks!

I received a lot of jewelry from a relative who passed away. Jewelry of any kind is completely not my cup of tea, so I don't know anything about it. She had a lot of real gold jewelry (mostly Soviet gold), but there are a lot of very lovely unique pieces that I will share one day, but one caught my eye first.
It's marked 18KT and Italy and something else (like a signature) on the other side. It's a heavy necklace. I don't think any of her pieces were recently bought (from Alibaba, Temu or etc), but maybe it's a fake, I don't know.
I did a vinegar test and metal didn't change color.
If anyone can say anything about the signature, I would appreciate.
Photos are bad, but I tried my best. It was hard to capture the marks...

I am skeptical since I know a lady who bought a 14KT wristband on auction for over 1300 euros and it turned out to be a fake from Alibaba. She never got her money back of course.

Thanks in advance!

Very sweet necklace. It is best to have it tested by a jeweller.

Italian 'gold' is notorious for not being gold, and since it has no assay marks.... It looks good though, so it could turn out to be the real deal. Fingers crossed.

 

I think that looks right. That script mark is annoying me, I’ve seen it. Style is seventies into eighties.

 

I'd have said mid to late 80s. One easy indicator - are the hearts hollow? They almost never bother will hollow parts on brass or other costume jewelery. Thinner metal means the metal was probably costlier.

 

No idea ... (to me it looks like Judcgy/Tudcgy )

 

That's what I thought too.

 

80s makes sense according to other jewelry she had.
Hears are actually rather hollow I would say, but again not too hollow. I am not sure... hehe
Total weight of the piece is about 50 grams.
I will take it to jeweller soon and let you guys now
Thanks everyone, you guys are amazing!
