dreamy Posts: 2 Registered: Oct 2006	posted 10-23-2006 12:20 AM [26-1239] Hi, I found this ring in a box of Grandma's old jewelry. It is likely old, and is marked Sterling with a W in an inverted triangle. I would like to know the maker and perhaps the date the ring was made? Thank you for your help! IP: Logged

That said, I believe your mark is that of J.J. White Mfg. co. Providence R.I a maker of costume jewelry since 1900. If you do a web search for costume jewelry maker marks you should find them.

I did do a search, although I found only that it is the JJ White piece, but nothing I found was similar so I still do not know about the age. I love silver.. sterling, plated, etc...! I was thrilled to come across this site, and have perused it in spare moments. So much to learn, so interesting! I inherited some gorgeous silver pieces and that is what sparked my interest. The ring shown, as well as earrings, a few other rings, some platters which I think are or were silverplated, 2 very odd what look like old monogrammed cigarette boxes, not certain about those, but that is another question. I do not know much about silver, but what I am learning is so fascinating! Thanks for having this site! ------------------ IP: Logged
