    Hello, thanks for having me here. I’ve recently had an inherited ring valued but was hoping for more information than the jewellers could give. Apparently, the hallmarks are Chinese - can anyone help with their meaning or translation? I’m keen to find out more about this ring. Thanks

    Edit: added second image to show whole ring (I’m currently away and don’t have the piece with me).

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It's a pretty ring. Seems like an older design. You say you inherited it. Do you know how old it is?

    Thanks for the replies. Better images below! The ring was given to my relative by a good friend in the early 90s. Jeweller indicated it was 1940s onwards because of the cut of the central diamond. Hopefully, the images might prove useful…

    Good photos! I hope that somebody can help. I just asked the questions that I thought some others would ask.

    Thanks Figtree3, hope so! If anything, just a translation of the stamp would be really helpful :)

    @Figtree3 @komokwa I don’t suppose either of you have contacts in your networks who might be able to translate the characters? I’m at a dead end otherwise
