    Here is a woman's ring that I found at a local pawn shop. "It caught my eye" as they say, even though dingy & dirty at the time. I don't know the stones yet, but they are a beautiful canary yellow & sparkle fiercely almost like diamonds. Each stone looks to be around .5 karats & show no scratches or wear. The gold shows wear & is marked 10k with two side by side, lengthwise, diamond shaped marks, with an F inside the first and J(inside second diamond). The ring's sides come to a small side point/step that is pierced. It feels disproportionately heavy in the front for so little gold & gems. One stone looks like it differs slightly & I think it was a replacement. The stones are loose even now, and will require some attention. It only fits on my small pinky, but I'm 6' 5". I bought it with my mother in mind. She likes yellow stones, topaz especially, which I don't think they are. If anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.

      Very nice piece, I'm no expert on stones, but looks to be Citrine to me, might check this stone for comparison.

      thanks kerry I appreciate your input. I thought it might be that too, but then I think shade looks to yellow. I'm no gem expert either though. In the books I was looking at it came closest to a yellow sapphire, in a different book it look like a beryl.

      what did the pawn shop say they were? and are you positive they aren't yellow diamonds, any jeweler could prob tell you what they are

      They look to be yellow sapphire or mandarin topaz. Nice

      I agree with Moonstone, its to yellow to be citrine. I think it might be topaz.

      Well assuming the ring is NOT new, say not within the last, ill go out on a limb here, at the minimum not within the last 50 years its possible you may have a designer ring, hallmarks, makers marks, and respective purity stamps all in approiate locations, I'm going to take a stab at this and suggest its possible your FJ... Indeed may possibly be a HW logo. Harry Winston. Please look up the logo and examine your ring and tell me what you think. Ill be anxiously waiting to hear back..... I've had this dilemma myself,
