I found the same ring a few years back! Myn is rose gold and has the exact same markings. I was told it was swiss and that they stopped using the markings In the 20/30s. Where did u find it? Myn was at a old tennis court in PA.

I was researching gold ring hallmarks and found this. The three crowns were usually used by the Otsby and Barton co. in many rings

Wow that would be very cool, do these rings Carey a premium because the jeweler died on the titanic?

Wow it's gorgeous. How did you shine it up so well!?

Honestly it looked VERY good when I took it out of the ground mostly just soap and water to clean it. I also acid tested it and it is in fact 14k gold.

That's great! Mine is a bit tarnished, it doesn't seem to wanna clean up much. Would you be able to tell me any ideas on a cleaning process for the very hard tarnish?

I'm no expert but I am sure someone on this site will chime in and I would also be interested In their response. People in this site are remarkably knowledgable and have helped me a lot.

My best finds are the first 2 penny's I pulled out of the ground right after I got my Ace 250 and the 14k gold ring I found the other day.
