The "RY" stamp belongs to Ryan Gems Inc. Ryan Gems Inc. is a trusted name in the fine jewelry industry, and they are renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship and dedication to quality in the industry since 1979. They are a family-owned and operated business, and I personally have met the owners. They really do take pride in designing, manufacturing, and producing their exquisite gemstone and diamond jewelry in New York City and are one of the only full jewelry manufacturing forces in the USA. They have a very diverse collection, primarily in 14K and 18K gold. They have a reputation built on reliability and excellence, they work with almost all retailers nationwide with their jewelry. They have very timeless and elegant pieces at an exceptional value.

I have a ring marked with the RY by: Anonymous
Hello,
My husband and I bought a sapphire and diamond ring at auction 20 years ago with the 14 K and RY Maker's Mark. I would love to know who the maker is if you find out.

Thanks for your answer. It continues to be a mystery then. It's stamped 14K gold and I dont see any peeling in real life, perhaps its a pixellated thing you saw from digi photos? It's purchased from a reputable antique jeweller so I would hope they could tell the difference between gold and plated.
Thank you

Thousands of Goldsmiths by: Anonymous
There are so many thousands of goldsmiths who work for major jewellery companies, for small studios and also independent retailers, that it would require months of searching to determine the maker of this lovely piece of jewellery. A search of my own substantial reference library as well as my data base of hallmarks, trade names and copyright trade marks did not reveal the mark seen on this pendant. I know that you say this is 14k gold but there appears to be some peeling of the gold visible which indicates a gold plated piece. Many fine quality gems such as rubies and emeralds are set in gold plate over sterling silver. Sometimes the names are never registered, so there is just no way to identify the makers. Cheers.
