Hello! I was given this ring a few years ago by a friend who found it, not really sure where but didn’t question him on it.
Just curious about these hallmarks on the ring, as well as the name on it?
Looking to sell it at some point but wanted to know more about it and hopefully find the maker.
Thanks!

At the very least it's worth the gold it's made from, if you give us a weight we can give you the current gold value.

While I can't tell you for sure who made it, I found an older forum topic here that has a ring box that has the same marks as your ring and a replier tells what the maker's mark is but I let you read that topic and I also found a 18kt diamond wedding ring saying it's from the 1940s on eBay that has the same marks as yours, we're not allowed to post eBay links here but I'll post some photos of the ring.

Link to the topic...

Photos of the eBay ring...Edit: Sorry I'm having trouble posting the photos from eBay, I'll try in another post.

Photos of the ring on ebay, the seller's name is oldtreasures333

In this photo you see the word "Charme" and what appears to be a ID number.

In this photo you see the "18kt", and maker's marks, the one next to 18kt is a jeweler's hammer over the capital letter F (this mark is described in the topic I linked earlier), the next one appears to be a capital C with a crown inside it.
You have the hammer and F right after the 10kt mark and then the C with the crown inside on your ring.

Yes, it does seem to be from Fremes & Company of Toronto, as identified by @DCMatt in the thread linked above. The ‘crown inside a letter C’ alongside the maker mark is a purity guarantee mark used on Canadian gold of multiple finenesses during the early 1930s. In 1934, the crown was replaced with a lion’s head inside the letter.

It seems to be poorly documented (as is the Fremes mark), and perhaps only used for a short period of time, but this was from a German website:

PS: the emblems on the shank of the ring appear to be masonic... a pyramid with a plumb bob (of the plumb rule type) hanging from the bottom.

Nice ring. Thanks for the information guys!
 
I believe the three linked "O's" represent the Odd Fellows fraternal organization.
