[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10031291, member: 2844"]LP in a circle has to be the manufacturer's mark. My guess is a US manufacturer. And I'm with the others, it is costume. The example the OP gave was this mark: 14K L - P. Most replies suggested L - P was the maker's mark, only one came up with it being the abbreviation for either electro plated or 8 karat gold. A very strange reply imo, because L - P would have to stand for a non-existent technique called Lectro - Plating, not [U]e[/U]lectro plating, and the alternative, 14k would mysteriously morph into 8k. So I think we can ignore that post.:playful: Besides, your mark is LP in a circle, not 14K L - P. Anyway, this is the thread: [URL]https://metaldetectingforum.com/index.php?threads/gold-ring-markings.207981/[/URL][/QUOTE]
