Maker of this 14K gold Italy hug and kisses bracelet?

Hi,

 

I was gifted this bracelet today and am trying to figure out the mark. I took the best photo I could and still can't make out what it says. One of you will look at it and know immediately, I'm sure. Would you please let me know? 

 

It came NIB from Whitehall Co Jewellers. 

 

Thanks much!

The piece is by Aurafin.  They were a well-respected gold company based in Florida that sold to better independent jewelers.  Over the years I easily dropped six figures buying gold from this company, went to Italy with them to tour some of their factories, and also toured their Florida home facility!  Great company!

 

The kind of bracelet you have is a Stampato, which were NOT the most durable pieces they made, for sure!

 

They sold out a few years before our retail store closed in 2020, and were bought by Quality Gold of Cincinnati, who took over and merged operations with theirs.

Yeah Silver here with the floaters in eye!

Well, do see italy in center followed by 14. Company could be AF " A" being cursive ( big Italian co).

Can you call the jeweler since you have the name and see if you can shoot them a photo over?

    Nice gift from someone special no doubt!

If you have an old school pencil maybe you can use a piece of paper and do a rub?

I'd love to be able to contribute to identifying but I beg you please take better pictures. There is no way we can properly identify this.
