Identifying Sterling Silver Ring Markings: Decoding .925 and Letter Combinations

Question
Hi there.  I recently purchased a sterling silver ring from an antique mall.  The design of the ring is like that of canals- it almost looks like a David Yurman piece, if that clarifies my description.  It has a marking on the inside which I am unfamiliar with and can't find any information on.  It says .925 and then what looks like an upper case L which extends to a lower case e, and perhaps a lower case l in the middle which extends down to the bottom of the e, or maybe even a backwards j.  I would love some input on this if you could find the time.

Answer
Hello Kristina,
The .925 is for sterling the other marks denote the  year and makers mark.If you will draw it as it looks I can give you a better idea of where and when it was made.the L is for the year (if British it would  denote 1860 if  block lettered in uppercase and 1910 if lowercase ). It doesn't sound  like a yurman piece as  it seems like  you  have  far older marks than when his  lines began  production. I wonder, do you thing=k the line and "e" may be an anchor? If so that would indicate Birmiongham as the place of origin, or at least where the maker registered his/her mark. I have looked  for an "L,e" mark and  haven't  struck on a definite maker yet.So i'm afraid I need some more info- a drawing would be great.even if it's not exact, just as  close to what you make out, particularly if you have a magnifying glass or loupe,  I would then  be able to come closer to the  time ,place and  artisan.
Best regards,Ari
