This ring was picked up with a pair of watches (see my other thread) and some vintage lucite/Bakelite cocktail rings.

Most of what the vendor was selling were just scrap but this was a decent piece with a nice, clear hallmark.

I took a guess at Cookie Lee but haven't been able to see a clear shot of their hallmark but didn't find much.

Does anybody want to take a stab at seeing what this mark is?

I think Cookie Lee is usually spelled out. Looks like CJ or CG?

I'd have to agree with you but have not any luck when looking for contemporary sterling hallmarks. Any time I search for them I pull up maker from turn of the century England.

I'm pretty sure it's CJ. Carolyn Pollack ~ Carlisle Jewelry. Here's a link to verify it.

That's it! How on earth did you track that down? Where exactly did you start? I hardly have any luck finding a,erican sterling hallmarks that are contemporary. All I seem to find are old ones online

It would seem my purchase will pay off nicely considering what that ring sold for

I googled " 925 CJ mark sterling ring " and just followed the sites until I saw this one. It also helped a little that I found a pendant not to long ago from the same maker and it seemed familiar. But that's where I basically started. Do I win a prize?!! [emoji51]

I wouldn't know what to give the man that buys 300 year old tables at garage sales!

Does anybody want to take a stab at the stone set in the ring?
