French Hallmarks on a platinum and gold ring Question: Are you be able to translate French Hallmarks?
French-Inspired Jewelry: Creating with Vintage Beads, Buttons & Baubles
Price: $11.88
If not, do you know of either a book, website or person that can help me identify them?
The hallmarks are a rooster's head, a horse's head and a "gondola" or "Viking" type boat on water with the letter "E".
Thank you, Maile GG, CGA
Answer: G'day Maile and many thanks for your query.
You are quite correct in your observation that the Rooster (Cockerel) is the stamp for France, but with careful examination you should also see a Number in the stamp (1, 2 or 3) which would help date it.
However the Rooster changed shape PLUS the mark may be oval or Octahedral in shape.
This is a common mistake that people often overlook.

The Horse's head is a puzzle though as there was a Lion's head or a winged horse or even a rabbit. The boat may in fact be a swan, but there was no date letters as in British Hallmarks.
