I bought this and it came from a jeweler who sells in NY at the jewelers building. It does not have Italy aside of the hallmark info. All the images online I have found have Italy. I have a 2 week return and I am not sure how I can figure this out. Does anyone own this bracelet it has only been out since 2013. If you have it does it have Italy on it. The jeweler said he bought it from another jeweler who was closing and maybe the other jeweler polished it off. The rest of the hallmark & jewelers mark seems ok. Maybe they don't put Italy on all the Atlas bangles? I was hoping someone here might have that info. Thank you!

I would bring it to Tiffanys to have cleaned and they will authenticate it before accepting the item.
 
Thank you. I will have to do that. I live about 4 hours from the closest one. My problem is getting there within the 14 days with my work schedule. I stopped at a place yesterday that buys and sells gold. He looked it over and he was very confident it was authentic. He said it had been heavily polished and that was probably why the Italy was off. After talking to him I am feeling better about it. He said it was in great shape and probably had lots of little dings in the gold and that is why it was polished so much. He also said it would bother some people because they want their used to be like new. I thought about it and it is beautiful and I am happy with it. I know it's not new and I didn't pay the new price.
