Well, it sounds like a beautiful gold chain in any case. Could it possibly really BE an Italian gold chain?
Concerning the female end of the clasp that you mention with a lozenge with a (star 1 AD or perhaps AP) - I assume the star means it was made after 1968, in Italy, the number could be the assigned number of the registered jeweler in Italy and if the letter marks are AP, this would stand for the Italian Province Abbreviation - for the Italian province - Ascoli Piceno.
