Did you ever figure it out? I have a heart necklace that looks silver but the only markings on the heart are 82 OTC and on the clasp of the chain it says BRZ on one side and OTC Italy on the other side.
When you have a piece of 10k jewelry that has 'OTC' on it, it is the name of the company. OTC has been a leader in the fine jewelry industry for many years.

If a piece of jewelry is stamped with OTC 925, the OTC stamp is the name of the company that made the jewelry, OTC International. 925 is a common stamp on all sterling silver.
OTC Ltd. is the company that made the piece of jewelry. From what I understand they have become quite a force in the jewelry industry. They now have fine gold, diamond and silver jewelry as well as nicer costume jewelry.
OTC BRZ on your earrings likely stands for "Over the Counter Bronze." This indicates that the earrings are made of bronze and are available for purchase without a prescription, hence the term "over the counter." Bronze is an alloy primarily composed of copper and tin, known for its durability and warm tone.

Well, honey, "bz" typically stands for "brass" and "otc" usually means "over the counter." So, if your earrings have "bz otc" stamped on them, it likely means they are made of brass and are available for purchase without a prescription. But hey, I could be wrong, stranger things have happened in the world of jewelry!
OTC on a gold ring typically stands for "Over the Counter," which refers to a type of transaction where the ring is sold directly to a consumer rather than through a retail store or auction. It can also indicate that the gold has been tested and verified, often denoting the quality or karat of the gold. In some contexts, OTC may also refer to specific trading mechanisms in the financial markets, but in relation to jewelry, it mainly pertains to the sales method.
