Initials on a ladies claddagh

Post by lipster3 »

I found a lovely sterling and marcasite claddagh at a yard sale. Thanks to the resources on your site, I know it's Ireland,Dublin Assayer,1838, but I coud find no reference to the makers initials, I.S.J. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your question cannot be answered without the required images. The below should help you:

Hi,

Can you try to capture a sharper close-up of the marks? My initial feeling is that the date of assay may be 1983, but it will need a clearer image to confirm.

I went through 4 batteries, but this is the best I could do. I will say that the stamp appears to be 8 sided, though it doesn't look that way in the image.when I got the ring, that groove was level with corrosion,took me two days to get THAT much out of it. Sorry I can't get a better image.

Likely to be the work of the Irish Souvenir & Jewellery Co. Ltd.
