Sometimes we get a question from a concerned client, especially when it comes to diamonds, but in this case, we are unable to help. Maybe one of our readers might be able to shed light on this matter, as it would certainly help our 'Pool of Knowledge'.
QUESTION..?
I purchased an 18K gold man's ring at a consignment shop. The ring has a row of diamonds across the top (not really important to my question). After the 18K symbol is one letter: Z.
I took it to Zales, but they said not theirs. They did determine the diamonds to be real and noted the color was consistent the 18K mark. Can you ID the manufacturer for me? Thank you.
ANSWER..!
G'day and many thanks for your query
The mark may not be a Maker's Mark at all (depending on who made the item) because many manufacturers stamp a finger size (European makers use letters for example) so the 'Z' could be that OR simply a design mark or model identification mark.
Other than that - The Z on its own doesn't mean anything to me as there is no common register for every jeweller's mark because anyone ANYWHERE in the World could have made it.
Hope this helps. Best just to enjoy it. At least you know it is genuine...
