    Hi, I've been trying to find out some info on a bracelet I have had for many years, I believe it to be Egyptian gold, I've searched for info on the hallmark and would love to find out more about its origin. Be grateful for any help. This site is the only one that I've managed to find a similar mark on. Would appreciate any help. Thank you. I had the bracelet tested at a pawn shop many years ago and it was either 18k or 22k(I can't remember) I'd love tp find out more about it. bracelet1.jpg bracelet1.jpg bracelet1.jpg bracelet2.jpg

    It is gorgeous, Michelle, and welcome.
    You are right, it is Egyptian. The mark on the left says 18, for 18k gold, and the little squiggle above it is the town mark, which looks like it is for Tanta, a city in the Nile delta.
    The mark on the right is probably the maker's mark.

    Edit:
    The mark on the right could be a date mark, but it would have to be a recent one, post-2009. Is that possible, given the time you got it?

    I don't.:shame: I just checked one of my books, which is in German.:playful: I do know Arabic numerals though, which helps to read the 18 mark.

    In that case it could be a maker's mark.
    I don't have any info on post-2009 year marks, that's why I asked.

    This chart was taken from the Egyptian government site for weights, measures & other standards some time after 2010. If any source should have an up to date chart, surely it would be them. I suspect date letters were not applied after 2009-2010.
