[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11368551, member: 2844"]The 14K mark is generally used in the US, but not exclusively. Did your grandmother travel? Italian gold marks of this period have a star, followed by the millessimal fineness and a province code, all together in a cartouche. The millessimal fineness of your pendant is .585, so you would see 585 in the mark instead of 14K. The mark on the chain says Italy and 14Kt (with a t), which is how Italian chains were marked for export.[/QUOTE]
