Inside pics of old gold rings from other day

[CASPER-2]

first is inside pic of large wedding band from Monday
all that is stamped inside is - P.B


funny thing is - wedding band I found at end of Aug. (below)
on my other 5 gold day - also has same - Im guessing makers mark


here is small ring with 3 stones (dont know if they are rubies or amethyst)

here is only marking inside = anchor and K
usually an anchor is Birmingham UK mark
if so the K may be a date letter - if so - it would make it 1934
which would fit with other finds made
(a lurker friend found a ring indentical he said in fresh water at an old spot - his has same mark inside )

here is large blue stoned ring from monday

marked 10K C&CO

small band was just marked 14k and large signet has no markings at all

PB. Could it be Platnauer Brothers, English jewelers in 1800's? They were in Chester until 1883 or so. Today there is an R. Platnauer jeweler in Birmingham. Relationship unknown. Those are all wonderful finds.

Like the finds and photos. Did you check the Karat value on the one marked PB??

I searched for period jewelers and makers marks with google
Platnauer Brothers never came up -
the one found in Aug is inscribed 1928
I dont own a gold test kit - its heavy - I think it is at least 14k
it looks like they tried making it white gold but is yellow too
might have been a bad mix of alloys with the gold or they used silver instead of nickel
