Identifying a gold bracelet .
Q.Markings on the chain include .417 (indicating 10K gold) "Italy", "PGDA" and "60TV" or "60TW" (six grams weight?) Anyone know who made this... and/or what the PGDA stands for?
A.PGDA, in relation to gold jewelry, seems to stand for "Piercing Pagoda" - a company that sells lower-quality jewelry through little kiosk stands in malls, and they'll pierce your nose publicly! ;) I think, then, your item was made for sale by PGDA in Italy. If I were selling it, I'd title it "Italian 10kt gold 8" bracelet" and then put the other details in the description. I also wouldn't mention PGDA as that's not exactly a purveyor of high-quality items.
