Hi, I have a 14K ring made in Hong Kong, marked KILL, NOSE and with a star. Looked around the internet hoping to determine approximate age or anything about the maker, no luck. Thought someone might be familiar. Thanks for looking:)

Hi, It occurs to me that what I thought read KILL is K14.

Just found a very similar ring online, described as NOSEY, and K14 for 14K, the ring was masterly crafted by M. Nosey Dragon & Co. in Tientsin (Tianjin), China from circa 1890. Mark on that ring does not include HKONG. So maybe a later repro?
