    The stones are glass, I believe designed to imitate lapis, and I think the metal is brass. I'm curious about the 139 impressed mark on the back of 3 of the links. Any thoughts as to the meaning of that mark? A mold number maybe?
    Thanks!

    9K = .375
    So wondering if the 139 means that it is plated with .139 percent of gold.
    Just a guess.
    Use a loupe to inspect this area. Looks like the solder areas might be coated (plated).

    It's a very attractive piece.
