    Morning!, Can anyone give me a clue as to the meaning of this stamp please?. I think the ring is low grade gold around 9k.
    Thanks as always :) 6E5D643A-953F-4A2F-82C0-0C1BA3E5F930.jpeg 68A4F70C-25DF-443A-A144-60B0D6B6E1EF.jpeg

    Also this hallmark question- why would this pendant
    have a 750 and a 585 on the bail?.

    Is that odd to have both?Hallmarked on the ring below too with multiple marks but most indecipherable except for a cursive t in a circle and a U. Necklace is sterling but I don’t think is contemporary with the pendant. Never seen so many stamps on something I thought was costume tat!. Also where do you all get your replacement stones or do just hoard the irreparable and save the stones?

    9ct! Just badly stamped. Thankyou for that Bronwen. How do you improve photos like that?. On my 'need to know' list!

    Because I have a web site that is more photos than text, I also have a photo editing program called Photo Paint. But you can do some basic editing, like rotating, in the photo app for Windows & I imagine in most, if not all, other photo apps. When I open a photo file, at the top of the window is a menu choice for Edit & Create. I use it (Draw) when I want to circle something in a pic.

    Just to clarify for myself: the chain is silver; the bail is legibly stamped with both 750 & 585; the attachment ring on the pendant itself has a jumble of marks. Have I got it right?

    The answer is yes, it is weird to have both fineness marks on one part. The heart is one & the bail the other? No marks on the heart other than on the ring at the top? Want to have a go at those marks, in case we can pick out something there?

    Yes,you are correct. I thought it was odd. I'll have to wait for OH to get home to borrow his spiffy camera as mine won't get the marks.

    Chain is marked Sterling on spring ring.

    Bail is marked 750 as shown on top and .585 on the side. There is something before the .585 but I can't make it out as yet.

    The ring between the bail and the pendant is soldered on and has a cursive t in a circle and a u or an n in a box and another jumble of marks.
    Nothing I can see on the actual heart pendant.

    750 and 585 mean it's a mix of gold fineness. It's possible that the actual prong set is lower carat as it's a bit stronger. The other mark might be a mangled British mark.
