Hi all!
Welcome to a new fortnightly post!
In this post's comments, please feel free to upload your examples of your hallmarks which you find to be unusual, rare, or simply a piece of precious metal you want to show-off to the rest of us!
No judgement - maybe you're new to hallmarks or have collected for a long time, everyone is welcomed!
Please do not use this post to request hallmark identity! You can still post regular posts for that.

Howdy folks! As I mentioned in the title, I am a long time observer of this sub, but this is my first post here. I came across this mug at an antique shop and was curious if anyone could tell me anything about these markings. Any help is appreciated :))

Hi folks! Looking for help for this possibly antique Art Nouveau yellow gold leaf motif ring. Thank you!

Hi!
I recently inherited a substantial collection of jewelry and I’m really stuck on this piece.
The ring weighs 26 grams and feels very heavy in my hand. It appears to be a mixed-metal piece with a solid yellow gold architectural frame and two kinetic white metal/steel spheres (silver)
Unfortunately, there are no standard signature or traditional country gold assay stamps visible on the ring. The only mark I can see is a clean, hand-struck cursive “Ip” on the inner shank. Or so I think “LP”
My friend who happens to be a jeweler believes that this is an early, independent studio piece by Jean Dinh Van. He has only seen photos. He thinks it was created during Van’s transition period in Paris in the late 1960s. Before his hallmarks became standardized into the typical lozenge or block font, he used a unique standalone master mark. I’m hoping someone has seen or cataloged this exact mark on his early gold and steel structural pieces.
Maybe it’s not Jean Dinh Van at all. Any information would greatly appreciated!Thanks!

I found this silver platter in an antique shop, I looked up the keys mark, and the V.O. mark and it seems it was made in New York. I can't read the third one well. The tag says it is plated silver but in the area of those hallmarks it looks worn down and I would imagine it would be showing a base metal, but looks the same. And it feels very heavy for being plated. Any help would be appreciated, sorry I don't have multiple pictures.

I bought this ring about 20 years ago and I don't remember the maker. It's clearly stamped but I haven't been able to find it. Anyone recognize it?
r/Hallmarks • u/LavenderGarbageBags • 1d ago
I believe they are from 1908-1926 and made in St Petersburg, but I'm unsure what those letters represent.

Found this stick pin and was hoping to identify the shield. Marked sterling and G S pin

Got this in a mystery jar and the back of the square links are riddled with "925" hallmarks along with "NETA", which I can't find any information on. Was hoping someone could help me identify it!
r/Hallmarks • u/rothestatejewelry • 2d ago
Hello! Does anyone recognize this hallmark? Looks like it may say SS.
r/Hallmarks • u/PaganPsychonaut • 2d ago
I see 925 but can't figure out the other two marks with all the wear. Google was no help with the marks or finding another like it to compare with. Any thoughts appreciated!

The ring is an inheritance. It's last known location is Hungary. It is most likely to be from 1920-1960 ( I know it's a wide range). From the available marks I couldn't tie it Hungary. Maybe Austrian but again couldn't confirm. In any case I am stuck.

I’ve had the ring for awhile before realizing they were on the outside band of the ring. Not sure how old it is and anything about it really

There’s a mystery marking on the upper ride side of this medal (near the point of the end of the helmet) that I can’t make out. His monogram is on the bottom left side of the medal.
I appreciate it!

My mom found this ring in an old house pre 2000’s for sure. I’m trying to find a magnifying glass or something to use, but for now I thought I’d ask here. I tried cleaning it but maybe I need a toothbrush. Any tips or ideas on the mark? I don’t have a jeweler near me anymore :(
