What are the marks of Via Orefici Jewelry? Via Orefici Jewelry has two marks, the fineness mark, and the maker's mark. The fineness mark certifies the precious metal (pure gold) content, expressed in parts per thousand: 750, meaning 750/1000. The maker's mark, or business number registration, certifies the maker artisan, expressed with two letters for the city where the artisan is registered and its number. For example, GE212 is the artisan registration number 212 in Genova.
