That *Js'C* — you are reading it right — though it is not JSC.
It's *J.C. & S*
That's the old English way they stamped it. The apostrophe is actually the & that got worn.
*J.C. & S = J. Cook and Sons — Birmingham, England*
Big maker from Birmingham Jewellery Quarter. Victorian era kings.
What your hallmark means on this ring is this:
- *J.C. & S* — Maker's Mark. Who made it. J Cook & Sons registered their punch like this. Every jeweller had unique mark to trace back - If you see next to it *9CT, 15CT, anchor, lion* — that's the full UK Hallmark: - *Maker* = J.C.&S - *Town* = Anchor = Birmingham assayed - *Metal* = Lion passant = Sterling, or Crown / number = gold purity - *Date letter* = alphabet letter tells year 14e2
