Pink sapphire

The hallmark only tells you who the maker is, nothing else. JewelFreak has answered your question and unfortunately, that's all the information you are going to get short of having a gemmologist actually test the stone.

The name she gave me isn't the correct mark. That's the vassort mark

But even if you can find out further info about the mark, it's not going to tell you with 100% accuracy what the gem is. No one can tell you from looking at pictures on the internet with 100% accuracy what that gem is. You will need to make a choice - whether to spend the money to have it tested by a reputable lab, or not. I think that's what most people are trying to say here. As it is quite unlikely that it is a natural sapphire worth many thousands of dollars, many posters are saying that their advice is not to spend the money to have it tested. However, if you want a definitive answer, that is what you will need to do.

I know that I'm only trying to find some information on the ring. Maybe I can find one similar

It is also easy to switch out the original stone for something else so as K said, knowing the maker doesn't tell you anything other than who the maker is. I've purchased used settings and put my own stones in.

I was just seeing if anyone knew what the AV stood for

Doesn't seem like we do. It could be ANY jeweler's mark with the business name or initials of AV.

Sorry we can't be of more help.
