New ring - Hallmark help? no pic in Hougart's 4th



Is it an S, a lower case h, y, or a 5? Looks most like a five to me, which Hougart the 4th says is Dephine Boyd, but there’s no picture to compare. Anyone familiar?

This is the underside of a two sheet overlay. The character which looks like a 5 was cut out with a jewelers saw from the bottom section before the top layer was joined. My impression is this is less likely to be a hallmark than it is something that was cut as the start of something for a different project, and then used instead as the backplate for this ring.

Gotcha! I thought it looked awfully deep to be a hallmark. thanks Mike!
