The other Mark appears to be an Italian Hallmark. Three numbers followed be two uppercase letters. Possibly 203 VI. The number is for the registered jeweler or manufacturer and the VI is for Vicenza where it would have been made.

Markings are only claims by: Ivan Ivanovich
Hello Bunny,
I would suggest that you get several (two or more) face to face opinions from jewelers. {Normally there will be no charge for such, especially if the business buys used gold jewelry items from private individuals.} An experienced jeweler can usually distinguish the "real thing" from most (but not all) fraudulently marked items (counterfeits) by just holding and visually examining them.
Your photo is not very clear, but is clear enough to cause my trained eye to suspect that your item may not be 18K gold. I can only read the "750" mark which claims it to be 18K gold. Other subtle details make me very suspicious.
While counterfeiting is thousands of year old; most counterfeits are fairly easy for an expert to spot. Starting about 30 years ago, the jewelry industry started being plagued by items that were marked as fine jewelry and appeared to be fine jewelry to even experienced experts like myself. I have seen both individuals and experienced jewelers be defrauded by such high quality counterfeits.
Hope this is informative.

750 means 18K by: Anonymous
Hi,
In Euro means 750 on jewels normally 18K gold. So I think this is also the case with your jewel.

Hello Bunny, so sad to hear about the passing of your dear friend and just a quick thought, if it is an ID BRACELET maybe the other numbers, (not the 750 at the bottom, which is the gold purity) is some kind of Identification number? kindest regards - Champs
