[QUOTE="benbenny007, post: 244148, member: 4194"]Just my thoughts. If I would buy something like this wit such stamps I would have seconds thoughts or it needs to come very cheap which would be worth a gamble (but gambling is loosing). This piece looks modern to me and that means if it's real gold it should have the official assay hallmarks. You can also see open links. This is never a good sign. In many cases they just add gold stamped labels to a piece which is not gold. A precious metal jewellery piece would come with closed soldered locks and links (in the majority of cases). The heart pendant has what looks to me laser engraving. Some essay offices use laser engraving but I'm sure they would have used the complete official hallmarks set. All in all to much wrong with it in my eyes. But wait for second, third opinions. Other reason why I don't buy jewellery whith such hallmarks.
