Your ring is not very old. It has a Birmingham hallmark; I can't make out the date letter exactly but it appears to be either "b" for 2001 or "h" for 2007. I don't know the maker (indeed I'm not even sure exactly what initials are).

Sorry I should have said London, not Birmingham, but the date letters are the same.

The date is not possible, as i have been in possession of the ring since before 2001.

Hi whitewinged1,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please try to capture another image of the mark, using the macro feature on your camera.

It looks exactly like 2001 to me. Here is a London 2001 mark from my files for comparison:

Hi Whitewinged,
Your ring is not that old. I suggest for information about the modern maker's mark PRR to contact; The.Library@thegoldsmiths.co.uk
mail your question and images and you most probably will receive an answer, and please keep us informed.

Thanks,

Oel.
