It's a type of official stamp or mark that certifies the authenticity and purity of the gold. The "18k" alongside the "FJB" further confirms the gold's purity, meaning it's 18 parts out of 24 pure gold. Here's a more detailed breakdown: · FJB: This is likely the official mark of the Italian national association for goldsmiths, guaranteeing the quality and purity of the gold. · 18k: This signifies that the gold is 18 parts pure gold out of 24 parts, meaning it's 75% pure gold. · Italian: "Italy" on gold jewelry often indicates the origin of the gold and its manufacturing. Therefore, an 18k gold piece with the FJB marking is a genuine, high-quality gold item, certified by the Italian national organization for goldsmiths.
