Re: Help with mark on Garnet Ring

Looks like 925. Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought at first when looking at it using a regular magnifying glass. Than I had a Jeweller look at the mark and he said it was definitely figural but wouldn't elaborate. I didn't want to prejudice any observations with my ideas. A friend and I a...

Help with mark on Garnet Ring

I hope someone can help me with the mark on this ring. I used a Optex 200x magnifier to try to capture an image. The diameter of the round band on the ring is 1mm which mean the mark is very small. Thanks in advance. http://i55.tinypic.com/1osuc7.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/w056qt.jpg http://i53.tiny...

I noticed that this question has been moved from British Hallmarks to European Jewelry.

Does this mean that the British Sterling Hallmark and Date Letter are fake?

Old Silver Bracelet - No City Mark

I am trying to date and maybe ID the Maker of this item. I believe the ID plaque may have been added later to a watch chain but I'm not sure. There multiple marks on this bracelet. All the links are marked with the lion. A Maker's Mark of HP or MP and the Lion and a Date letter R are on the clasp. T...

Help please with mark on engraved Asian bracelet

The tag on this item, when I purchased it, indicated a silver content of 925. I'm not sure if it was tested or the store assumed the mark to be a sterling mark? I'm not sure this is the case and suspect it could be nickel silver with a pseudo mark made to deceive. I hope this is not the case but wou...

I would also be interested to know about which locations used the Brittania Mark.

Also, I came back to add that I found the Hibernia Mark in my Collins book in the section on International Hallmarks. It is not listed with the UK Hallmarks but with the Continental /Europe Marks.

Thank you doc :-)

Someone told me that in the Hibernia mark the person is sat on a Harp. After pointing this out to me I recognized the shape.

p.s. If you are in the process of updating this site, I think it is important that all information be presented in a consistent manner. The image of the City and Fineness marks displayed for Dublin on the British Hallmarks Overview page should be switched so that the City Mark appears first and the ...

Hi, The Crowned Harp is the fineness mark, 925/1000, used by the Dublin Assay Office as laid down by the charter of 1637. In 1730 an Act of Parliament imposed a duty of 6d per oz. on all gold and silverwares, the Dublin Company at that point added an extra mark, the figure of Hibernia, to denote th...

I have already checked the Resource Page for Finnish Marks but I am not sure if this is the mark as given for "Kultaseppa Salovaara Ky, Turku" or if this is a different Maker.

This Brooch appears to be custom made and is marked in at least two places with the 14K mark. The image below shows only a partial content mark as well as a maker's mark. I believe though the maker's mark is intended to be three stars side by side with the centre one being larger. Thanks in advance ...

I have been searching through this site and have found a similar mark. Is it possible that these items might Rossdeutscher & Reisig even with the modern(?) 800 silver mark?

Also, I want to add, it isn't a reflection, there is a Gold(tone) accent on the design on the items.

Help with 925 Figural Horse Head Ring

I believe that this mark might be (C) BOMA. My research found a Silver Jewelry Company out of Seattle, WA by that name but I am unable to verify the Mark.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is actually Airline Cutlery although the size seems correct. I am guessing European based on the 800 Mark.
