Anyone have any insight as to the country of origin for this bracelet? Other than the 925, we are not familiar with the other set of marks.

I believe the hallmarks are post 1968 Italian. The hallmark consists of a star, a number (identifying the silversmith) and a two letter code (identifying the province). I can't help you with the silversmith however the identified province appears to be Firenze (FI). IP: Logged |

So you got me climbing up through our bookshelves as I knew we had some Italian silver reference book. Finally found I Marchi Dell'Argenteria Italiana by Ugo Donati which confirmed your identification of the mark as Italian and post September 1971. The Firenze or Florence attribution is also right on point. That got me searching online for the makers mark and funnily enough, the topic of Italian silver marks came up in the forums back in 2005: Italian Registration Marks. I did find the SilverCollection site with the Italian silver maker registration numbers up to 509. Close but no cigar as they say. But I'll keep looking.
