I will try the magnifying glass trick next time, my zoomed in photos always end up blurry. Thank you.
I just got a Cartier Etincelle ring but I can’t recognize the hallmark. Does anyone know where it is made? Thanks
This is what I found for France, not sure what brands use those:
Comment reconnaître les poinçons sur vos bijoux en or et en argent ? - Maison Française de l'Or
Vous l’avez sans doute remarqué, chaque bijou qu’il soit en or ou en argent est porteur d’un poinçon. Cette petite marque discrète est généralement recherchée pour son gage d’authenticité. Mais où la trouver ? Comment la reconnaître et comment l’interpréter ?

It comes down to the maker's mark, it looks like.

This is interesting!
I just looked at some of my items, most are PGI but my orchid necklace is a diamond shape with “Ste”, a bulls head, then “JIP” under the bulls head. (It had an eagle head too)
I cant for the life of me figure out how to take a picture of it however.

Just looked at the inside of my Love ring and I only see a “db” next to the Cartier engraving. Is that somewhere? Bought mine directly from Cartier.com
Yeah, mine showing "db" only. I bought it from boutique. Anyone knows which country it is from?
Because of this thread, I made note to look at the stamps inside rings when I went to try some on. Definitely very hard to see but it's so interesting. They're so intricate and I personally find it cool to know where your piece of jewelry was made.
The SA used a loupe magnifier when I asked about a trinity ring and the stamp was a diamond symbol with the letters, "C" and "P" on each end within the diamond, and a moon and star symbol in the middle.
Does anyone know what that represents? SA didn't know but she said she was fairly new.

The diamond shape is used in France. There are various factories that make pieces for Cartier.
Thanks! The letters C and P threw me off but maybe it's for them to know what factory. The star and crescent moon also!
