Just a little something - my new mini bling :)

[HopeDream]

Hello Everyone,
Lately I've been on the look-out for something to bling up my plain gold wedding band, and given my miniscule budget I sailed the wild seas of eBay in search of treasure. Guess what showed up recently in just my size? An elegantly tiny vintage solitaire.
Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to my golden days. Dainty enough not to cause a ruckus (anything 1/2 ct and up is HUGE in my area)

My best guess at stats:
0.23ct MRB (tcw engraved on the band)
about 3.8-4mm diameter
eye-clean si2
FGH ish
size 4 14kt yg cathedral setting (2.4g) with tall Pt? peg-head and double nubbin prongs.
Maybe from the 1980's? or earlier?

The stone seems quite bright and lively in most lighting environments and has a surprising amount of presence for one so small.

Not a bad fun ring for a sub $200 budget.

Does anyone recognize the maker's mark? it looks a bit like a script "L", or maybe a fan?

Thanks for looking!

Cue shameless pictorial overload:

Those two rings look as if they were made for each other! How lovely!

Is the hallmark an L? it looks like an image to me, which would mean the ring came from an Old World country. There are online resources where you can research hallmarks - just Google. I've had fun researching the hallmarks on my jewellery.

I think it is absolutely lovely and perfectly proportioned to your band and finger size. Sometimes understated packs a bigger punch and this set does that. Thanks for sharing!
