[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 3034691, member: 29"]Cartouche shapes can vary, the letter is a better indicator. I doubt this is British. A Stuart era ring would not often have been hallmarked at all, let alone 18 CT, which is far later. This isn't early 17th in style either. I'd surmise that both the odd E and the EB are indicators of the maker and I think it's no older than 20th C. What country does it live in?[/QUOTE]
