<p>[QUOTE=&quot;B.Stirling, post: 10550957, member: 91596&quot;]Hey everyone, it feels like it&#039;s been a while, but I&#039;ve come back with a bit of a curiosity. I&#039;m hoping to pass on some information to my mother about a piece of jewellery she has, and I&#039;m wanting to double check the research I&#039;ve done.</p><p>I&#039;ll warn you now, the pictures aren&#039;t the greatest as I was not in the best circumstances to take them. I can try and get new ones but it will take some time as this does belong to my mother.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12577]Starburst Ring1 by B.Stirling posted Jul 15, 2025 at 11:50 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>Top view of ring</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12578]Starburst Ring2 by B.Stirling posted Jul 15, 2025 at 11:50 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>Side view (opposite side is identical)</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12579]Starburst Ring3 by B.Stirling posted Jul 15, 2025 at 11:50 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>Inner markings on ring</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I&#039;ve found on this piece the markings indicate it&#039;s a Chester assay and 18k gold, but I can&#039;t seem to pinpoint a date. Any Chester assay marking charts I&#039;ve found have all been for silver, would they have used the same for gold, or at least for the date stamp with the &#039;R&#039;? I&#039;ve looked up similar rings and I&#039;ve found a lot of them in the late 1800s, but none have that &#039;R&#039;. Also, it looks like there&#039;s a teeny tiny diamond chip before the start of the markings on the left of the crown, does that mean anything? This ring belonged to a very dear friend of my mom&#039;s who has since passed on, she doesn&#039;t know much about it other than family heirloom, I&#039;m just wanting to be able to share some correct information to her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
