As .916 is used in Britain when referring to 22K gold, .926 is the Hallmark used in Italy when referring to the purity of the gold or Karat. And I believe it is yellow gold which also contains copper and silver (conbined account for the remaining 7.4 percent of the karat weight) to give it the yellow coloring.
The nine hundred and twenty six engraved on any type of jewelry means it is silver. The mark shows the amount of silver in jewelry. Sterling silver has 926 parts in 1000 it is the most commonly used silver.
I have a gold necklace stamped 926 italy, is this real gold or silver?
926 is the purity of the metal (in parts per thousand) Italy is the country of manufacture.
This simply means it is a higher purity of silver(less copper) than .925
The hallmark of 926 would indicate 92.6% silver, not gold.
There is no such thing at silver 926. Silver marked .925 is a mark to indicate that the item is sterling silver.

How much is 926 worth
No, Tiffany only uses .925 or Sterling Silver. If an item is marked 926, it is not real Tiffany!
most likely it says 925 or .925 denoting the amount of silver in the jewelry. 925 means sterling silver while 999 means fine silver or 99% pure.
I'm guessing you mean a coin from 1926. You also need to include a denomination.
Those marks mean that it's .925 (sterling) silver and was made in Italy. The intrinsic value of the silver would depend on weight, but can be less than the market value of the item. For example, a very old piece of silver jewelry from a historic period, or one designed by a famous dead artist, could have value to collectors. A valuation can be done by a qualified appraiser, and requires more information than just the alloy of silver used (the .925, aka sterling).
It means the jewelry is sterling silver (92.6% pure silver)
