Hallmark ID on a Navajo (?) Ring

Identifying & Discovering
1

Hello. I have a ring my mother-in-law gave me that I would love to find out more about. I’ve tried to do a little research on the hallmark, but it’s a symbol, so I’m having a difficult time. The ring is very heavy. I would guess it’s Navajo. The hallmark includes a thick vertical line that curves to the right at the top with a circle/dot under where the line curves. Next to it is “STERLING”. Above that is the little “c” in a circle symbol, then I think the number “86”, although it now occurs to me it could be “BG” instead. Any help you can provide is very much appreciated.

Hello Melanie,

This appears to be manufactured, not handmade. I am not familiar with the maker mark, most likely a company or shop mark. Thanks for sharing.
