My grandfather passed last year and my Dad gave me his ring. Trying to figure out anything about it. I know he had it when I was a little kid which was at least 30 years ago. The only marking I could find is 925 and a sideways 8.
Without seeing the hallmark, the only guess I have is John C Moore, 1853.
I'll try to find a glass and look around for one. Would it be on the inside of the band?
However, to me at least, that ring has a Mexico look about it. Many of their hallmarks are not easy to ID, though there are some sites that have some information. As I said, without a photo it's a guessing game.
Ha just found a "China" stamp. That's not good. I'll just put it away for my son since grandpa did wear it a long time
