<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 29391, member: 25&quot;]10K is unique to USA.&nbsp; It&#039;s some blokes in a shed. In general, everything is some blokes in a shed somewhere. Unless it is made by one of the few makers whose products command a premium, and they are few and far between. </p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, unless it is a matter of the detective work being an end in itself, seeking names for makers of everyday items is wasted effort. Things are worth what someone will pay for their essential thingness, and no more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a fashion guru but I&#039;d say it&#039;s a bit of a granny style ring, unlikely to&nbsp; appeal to modern taste, whatever that is, and I&#039;d see it as worth its gold metal value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing in down market gold caratage, 9Ct. in UK and 10K in USA is likely to be of any significance as far as the maker is concerned. Faberge and the like did not cater for the economy class end of the market, so anything less than 18 carat is likely to be run of the mill, mass market production. As indeed is most 18 Ct. stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not disrespecting your ring as such, or your curiosity, just saying that for run of the mill items, no one cares a hoot if they were made by John Doe instead of Joe Roe.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a bit like spending a lifetime proving that the works of Shakespeare were in fact written by another 16th C playwright with exactly the same name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
