QuestionI have an eternity ring that has yellow gold on the outside and white gold in the shape of hearts chained together going around the center of the ring, diamonds in the hearts. the marks are 9 .375, the birmingham anchor sideways, in a square box a W, it is also stamped with H.S. Li and what looks like a D but stamped deeper . I am having a hard time finding out what the H.S. Li mean. Can you help??
AnswerHi Karen,
There are a number of possibilities with the HS. Here is a link to more information:

There are a few options, and together with the other information you have should give you a better idea of who made it.
I am assuming you know already that the 9 is likely for 9ct (USA 9kt) as the .375 also means 9kt gold.
Here is another great resource for marks:

You can also see if it looks like any of these:

You have already discovered the anchor and its meaning, so the other letters will give you the maker and a date.
Let me know if this helps,
Lisa
