As .916 is used in Britain when referring to 22K gold, .926 is the Hallmark used in Italy when referring to the purity of the gold or Karat. And I believe it is yellow gold which also contains copper and silver (conbined account for the remaining 7.4 percent of the karat weight) to give it the yellow coloring.

Is a necklace marked 926 Italy worth anything?

Those marks mean that it's .925 (sterling) silver and was made in Italy. The intrinsic value of the silver would depend on weight, but can be less than the market value of the item. For example, a very old piece of silver jewelry from a historic period, or one designed by a famous dead artist, could have value to collectors. A valuation can be done by a qualified appraiser, and requires more information than just the alloy of silver used (the .925, aka sterling).
