Trying to identify Maker's Mark on 14k gold Ring

I know nothing about precious stones and I am trying to determine if the stones in this ring could be possibly be precious. I don't have the necessary testers. I would also like to know if anybody can identify the maker's mark. Many thanks.

Perhaps you could visit a pawn shop or a jewelry store with a bench jeweler nearby who could test it for you? If you do, please watch them carefully to avoid any possible 'swaps.' Let us know what you find out.

@woodrowmo-30,

Did someone ask you to post this reply here, and tell you that you would be employed by eBay and eBay would pay you to post replies on this community? Have you also been asked to post product reviews? This is a scam, and they are setting you up to cheat you and steal from you. Very soon, you are going to be asked to pay the scammers, in order to be able to withdraw your "pay".

This is called a task-scam or an order-grabbing scam. Sometimes the fake company is "eBay Mall" sometimes it's something else. Either way, it's fake.

eBay doesn't pay people to make forum posts or product reviews, or "grab orders". Nor do any other companies. No legitimate company pays for fake product reviews, and they don't need (or pay) middlemen to do anything with their customer's orders.

If the scammers ask you to sign up for a cryptocurrency account, DON'T DO IT. Don't give them any (more) money. You won't get anything back. More info:

Hello. I am suspicious of this ring and its gems. The metal has weird discolorations that, to me, indicate possible plating. And the scratches and color character of the stones make me think of glass. Incredibly hard to say off of photos though. Maybe you have a pawn shop or jewelry store with a bench jeweler near to you that would test it? (if you do, watch them carefully - too many 'swaps') Let us know?

Maybe it's Val Casting out of Bucyrus, Ohio.

Stones look suspicious to me. Side stones don't appear to pop like diamonds, center gem looks like a calibrated imitation...but they need to be examined in person to know for sure.
