I picked this up on the weekend and trying to figure it out.
The ring is marked 10K Charme and I can't figure the other mark out - could be HR or IR. Is the carving a warrior or soldier?
I don't believe the locket part is gold and wonder if this was added to the ring at a later date. Looks like there were initials on the back of the locket but the gold has been rubbed off so I can't make them out. This is 1/2" x 3/4". I have found a couple of other pieces that are marked Charme, they are gold filled but no information on the company
This opens up, I'm guessing to put hair or something in. When open and held to the light the glass isn't black but a red/orange colour, so maybe a stone rather than glass.
Any information appreciated.
Thanks for the love folks!
valentino97, are these photos better?

My Locket here posted on CW is also marked CHARME --- Wonder if a Canadian company ??

Looks like a older company by this link. Hmmmmm...wonder if they have anything to do with ( or sold through ) Birks Canada?? Just a thought....??
here is just some other things I found, as it must be an older company like Victorian -- maybe ?

So appears ( kinda to me ) it has some old history -- so that is Good info for your Ring too
Thanks for all the links Rose!
My mark is like the gold mark Katherine posted 10K with letters. I thought IR or HR but they could be IF or HF, so hard to make out.
Yes, must be a Canadian company and the pieces do look older - will have to keep digging as there should be some information on it. I'll let you know if I find anything out.
There is a Charme jewelry website but doesn't look like they would have made your ring:

Thanks for finding that site Katherine! Yes, doesn't look like the right company - that would have been too easy, lol.
Thanks for all the love folks!
