It is not a Fessenden mark! That answer was incorrect. by: Anonymous
The mark is not Fessenden & Co. Sellers are now using this incorrect claim to incorrectly describe jewelry.

I too have F in a jewel type diamond by: Anonymous
I purchased a sterling silver ring marked 925 and also outline of a cut diamond which has inside it an F. I assume the stones are fakes as it is sterling not gold but the diamond shape inside the band confuses me as the stones are brilliant and a slight shade of gray or green however the ceenter stone is bright white and with my loupe I see no carbon. The slightly gray or yellowish stones are the baggets arond the center pear shape which is whiter. Any ideas what I have here as most cz rings are marked cz? These are flashy and also shoot colors like my diamond. Could they be whilte sapphire I wonder?

F in jewelry diamond shape by: JazzyJen
I also have a piece of jewelry that is marked 925 for the sterling silver under the gold plate on top. It has a CZ solitaire surrounded by emeralds and CZ baguettes. It is big and beautiful. It does have the jewelry type "diamond" shape with the capital letter F in the middle. Not the playing card diamond shape. Thanks for your help.

"f" in diamond 925 silver by: Anonymous
I was wondering if you found out more about the bracelet. Looking at your posts and pictures it seems that I have the same bracelet with the same makers mark (not hallmark. The only difference I can see is mine has 49 diamonds. I'm estimating that they are .20 carats each. (looking at the size and taking a conservative estimation, it could be .25) Im no expert but I think that would mean it is a 9.8 carat bracelet. (someone correct me if I'm wrong, .20 multiplied by 49 equals 9.8)
I can't seem to find the "f" makers mark anywhere but I seriously doubt it is costume it was a very important piece to my grandma who was serious about her jewelry. Any news would be appreciated. I would like to know if it is something I should pay to get appraised and insured.
