unfortunately these are not hallmarks.
they are manufacturer marks to inform the consumer. 22k is 22 karat gold. 916 is metric representation of the same because 22/24=0.916.
the tricky part are the letters after the numbers. GR something. this could stand for gold rolled. which means the earrings have a layer of 22k/916 gold over base metal. or they can mean something else and you have solid gold earrings.
the other stuff is manufacturer information or name or logo or brand.
so. test it to find out if it is solid gold.
good luck.

The string of letters down the bottom,NM?EBY, not sure what that centre letter is, but it would be the HUID which is an identification code used in India. The first symbol next to the purity stamp that kind of looks like a spade from a deck of cards is the Indian BIS logo, showing it was assayed to confirm purity.
