Help to identify this ring hallmark

I have an old gold ring that is from maybe the 30's. The stamp is ineligible but it is kept in a jewelry box with the above cover. Anybody knows who the maker is?

 

we'd love to see a good pic of the stamp.....and a couple of the ring...if possible.

where did u find it
was it a family item
is there a purity mark

the box may have nothing to do with the ring......even if found together !

 

The mark on the box may be the mark of the box manufacturer, and sold to jewelry stores separate from the ring.

 

It’s 10K rubellite. Here are more pics:

 

Definitely no relation to the mark on the box. It's also a relatively new ring so I have no prayer of knowing whodunnit.

 

Gorgeous ring, p. I agree with 1930s.
The crest on the box is not a hallmark.
Since the maker's mark on the ring is different from the crest on the box, the box is unrelated to the maker. It could be the crest of the retailer.

The triangular mark on the ring is more important in this case, it is the maker's mark, and I think it is a very clear mark. The worn mark next to it is the 10K fineness mark.
This is a great resource for maker's marks identification:

A hallmark is an assay or guarantee mark, stamped by an official agency under government control. The USA doesn't have hallmarks.

It is an Art Deco ring, period, imo. The maker's mark looks North American to me, so beyond me.

 

Searched under triangle symbol but did not find it.

 

I normally just roll with what Any says, but I don't think that ring is 30s; the design is all wrong for an American ring. I'd say probably 50s or even a hair later, especially considering it's 10k. Have you had the stone tested? Rubelite tourmaline and synthetic ruby (what it looks like from here, if you can trust a computer monitor... heh) will read very differently. A real ruby that size and that good of course would be $illy money and not set in 10k.

 

Thanks for your reply. I was told it was natural rubellite, not ruby. But I haven’t had it tested. Hesitating because it probably won’t worth testing if it’s synthetic. Correct me if I am wrong: rubellite wasn’t too valuable a while ago?

 

Rubelite tourmaline isn't junk; I don't know what they go for now, truthfully. Gold rings with a real one vary from a few USD$100s to thousands. So, dunno.

 

I was wondering if it’s a synthetic stone. How do you tell, short of going to a jeweler?

 

Two answers: experience and you don't. Someone who knows jewelry and has it in hand can often tell what's what, but otherwise...good luck. Some gems, you need a good lens and training. Some can be deciphered with a decent gem tester. Opals you can usually tell, but other gems require a lot of training and the right instruments.

 

Thanks for the explanation. I may stop by at the jeweler next time I’m in the area.

 

a gemologist would be preferable......

 

agree. Not sure there is one near me. Will have to do a little digging.
