Hello Vantlicht

The label reads
کارخانه جواهر - Jewelry Factory
نقره - silver
وطلاسازی فدوی - and Goldsmith Fadavi (Fadavi is a Persian name)
اصفهان - Isfahan

At the bottom it reads

مثقال -- shekel which is a very old (ancient) Persian unit of volume. It must have survived in the jewelry trade and it may refer to weight.

عيار - grade with 84 handwritten

I believe that the three stamps are to the left - Isfahan -, in the middle - Fadavi - and to the right 84 - although I would not have been able to decode Fadavi without the aid of the sticker

Hope this is useful
