<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Anyiquesbyjewels, post: 11340140, member: 18988&quot;]Found This pair today and want to identify&nbsp; Maker’s Mark “G·B” on Victorian/Edwardian Snake Ring</p><p><br /></p><p>One sadly has lost an eye</p><p><br /></p><p>a heavy 18ct gold double-headed snake ring (11.5 grams) set with old-cut diamonds. Inside the shank there are two clear hallmarks: one rectangular stamp with G·B, and another rectangular stamp that looks like the older “crown over 18” gold mark, but it’s quite worn. I can’t see a date letter or assay office mark—possibly lost to wear.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the style, construction, old-cut stones and the type of “18” stamp, it looks late Victorian to early Edwardian. I’ve been trying to match the maker’s mark, and the closest I’ve found is George Bull, London (registered 1878)—the punch shape and serif letters look very similar. Before I go any further down that road, I’d love to hear opinions from people who know these marks better than I do.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Does the G·B mark look like George Bull to you, or is there another maker I should be considering for this period?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
