Would like to date a caladdah ring

I am trying to find out what the marks mean on this ring. I was told they were irish makers makes but cant seem to find them anywhere. I am having it repaired because I like it so much. It has 3 stamps and the letter KS (very plainly written) I am hoping it has some irish history as a keepsake.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please post an image of the maker's mark.

Embedded images get a far greater response than post links.

Thank you Trev for the help on uploading a photo correctly. I am trying to learn about the marks on this ring. I took it in for repair and was told he can fix it but that it is very old and wont be for everyday wear. I am very curious to the history. I am Irish and the ring means alot to me. Besides the three stamps it had a KS in a simple font with nothing arount it.

Any guesses on the age... ? They only ones I see remotely similar are early 1800's. I have spent so many hours looking. Some of the similar ones said Victorian?
