[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11368120, member: 2844"]Agree, it is a maker's mark, but I do read MS. Italian province codes are never script, and are usually marked in a cartouche together with a star and the fineness. I agree, the chain and pendant didn't start life together, and only the chain is Italian. The pendant is likely to have been made in the US. Pendants are put on random chains all the time, so it isn't a problem value-wise. These two are the same fineness, so that is good.[/QUOTE]
