Authentic Tiffany hallmark or no?

Does this look authentic for vintage Tiffany?

 

[yssie]

No.

But impossible to be 100% sure from one photo.

 

[MissGotRocks]

No, not compared to the Tiffany pieces I have had but I am not an expert. Only a time to time consumer!

In my (limited) experience I'm going to go with no. The maker's mark isn't usually slanted like that and the imprint on the first half of the name seems deeper than the last half. I would proceed with caution.

If it's a fake, then it's a decent job on the font.

No way to know, imo.

We see this on a 110-year-old YG ring that we know is that vintage and we know is Tiffany:

Can you post the whole ring? I've seen fake Tiffany all over ebay where they use a modern Tiffany hallmark on an antique ring and use an antique/old Tiffany hallmark on a modern style/copy of a Tiffany ring.

Hey folks, just an FYI -

Let’s maybe avoid posting detailed explanations and comparisons for why we think a branded piece might or might not be authentic. Nothing to do with the OP at all, but the replica creators do trawl public fora for nuggets that they can include when creating their fakes Unfortunately by trying to help the OP with this info what we’re also doing is making it easier for lots of replica manufacturers to make better replicas!!

If anyone here wants to have their posts edited or removed - the moderators are really good about responding to reports, just hit the report concern button on your post. Just gonna tag everyone who added details -

I hear you. My viewpoint is that there's likely nothing posted in this thread that a century of counterfeit creators hasn't already found and utilized. The only things that I've posted are already publicly available, and have been for decades on the internet and decades more in reference books and other materials.
The best approach is probably get an appraiser/specialist involved for a definitive answer.

Lange Antiques has an interesting section that depicts some Tiffany hallmarks over the years. They can vary widely in both font style and wording.

I have purchased two vintage Tiffany bands, each with very different stamping (from trusted vendors). They’re both 4mm Etoile bands however the stamps are completely different.

I’m not commenting on whether your photos depicts a real or counterfeit piece, I’m just saying with Tiffany maker’s marks there’s a huge variance and it’s always a gamble unless you buy direct from Tiffany.

Quoting myself, I know

This ring also has a hand-engraved serial number T1048. Is anyone familiar with 1910-era Tiffany rings and did they use that type of numbering system?
