Hi,
I clicked on your links and this is what I saw:
950 silver fineness (95%), better than sterling.
18 K for gold (75%),meaning there must be some parts made of gold.
Bottom row clearly shows Greek letter omega, so it was made either in Greece or Cyprus. The latter has better established marking system, not seen here, so my guess is Greece.
That is maker's mark but further research is impossible because there is no source to identify makers in those two countries.
