QuestionAlan -
I'am truly hoping you can help me track down the history of a goldsmith/jeweler who was/is supposedly very well known in the Scottsdale,AZ area possibly. This was probably from the 1970's - 90's. The only identification I have is a script written name, in lower case, on the inside of a ring 'gloria'.
The ring is a huge 14k yellow gold nugget-style ring with an incredibly large and colorful Fire Agate. What makes this Fire Agate ring so different are the 4 stunning Blue Sapphires set into one side of the nugget setting. I purchased this ring about 5 years ago from someone that had purchased it at an auction. She had received the info regarding 'gloria' at that time. She evidently was very well known, but without a last name I haven't been able to find out anything about her.
If you could help me out, I would truly appreciate it!!
Thank you for your time -

AnswerI am sorry,but without a book of hallmarks,I cannot identify,maker.Huge,mistake to have lent out to someone.My next suggestion would be to look up the hallmark,at a government website that may have hallmark info,if was registered with hallmark division.
Sorry,but good luck
