It's almost certainly the item's "fineness". For most jewelry the gold's purity is measured in units of 1000, often but not always represented as a decimal, with 1.000 being pure gold. Thus 800 (or 0.800 or .800) would mean gold that's 80% pure, with the remaining 20% being other metals added to increase the alloy's hardness.
