[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3700765, member: 2844"]It is a manufacturer's mark, rather than a hallmark. If you are in the US it is likely to be a US manufacturer. The stones are cabochons.;) Hallmarks were once punched in guild halls, hence the name hallmark. They are now punched by government assay offices. Not every country has a hallmarking system, so not every country has hallmarks.[/QUOTE]
