Is it possible to get a clearer photo of the markings on the right?

Do you see a mark on the Saint Bernard dog ear like one of these?
They would indicate where made. The markings in your ring look good, they do not look like any markings I've seen in cheap fakes. However, I am not an expert.

Those marks look good. It does not resemble the fakes I've seen.
I can't say for sure. Certificates can easily be forged: I've seen really nice fake ones.
What I don't like about this ring is absence of extra markings indicating where the ring was made. But it could be just an old ring when Cartier were not doing these stamps. Also engraving is a bit coarse but this also could be just an old Cartier style (14 yo after all...). So it's really hard to tell. In person I would have checked all the set including boxes and certificate.
