I recently picked up a nice looking silver ring that appears to be a designer piece, not sure of the age but if the style is any indication then I would guess that it is pre-1950 at least. It’s a very interesting item since there is a heart shaped pendant attached to the top center of the ring that moves back and forth. One side of the heart appears yellow gold toned and the other side is silver, both sides are set with six stones -guessing these are diamonds.
You can clearly see the figures 925 over 750 on the interior of one side of the band. The other interior space of the band shows a mark and a signature. The signature looks like it has double-lls in the name, maybe first name is Felix or Paul, and last name is something like Gillon or Fuller. I can’t make heads or tails off the mark. Anyone know about this very unique piece?
Thanks for looking, and any information would be terrific!
Not in my opinion is it a Victorian style !! It would be unusual to find a designer ring from that era !! Usually they are just marked with metal content !! My guess would be after 1950 !! And more likely 1960`s !! Was thinking the jeweler may be familiar with the names of designers/makers from that era !! You might try a light dusting of plain cooking flour over the name then lightly rub your finger across the letters !! Maybe the flour will settle in the low spots enough to read the letters exposed at the top !! Not sure it will help but will not hurt to try !! Even a few letters may help to figure it out !!
But you still need to have the stones checked and a good cleaning by a professional !!
You are correct. I have been staring at it with a loupe and unable to read the signature. I am posting it here in hopes that someone with more experience identifying designer marks or this very distinguished style of ring would be able to provide a name.
Is it safe to say that it is a Victorian style ring?
The numbers,, 925 is the standard for sterling silver !! 750 is the standard for 18K gold so this is not costume jewelry !! If it were mine I would take it to a reputable jeweler and have the stones checked and the ring cleaned !! They may be able to see the makers name with a jewelers loupe !!
