Advice required on gold hallmarks

I need a bit of advice on a gold ring (assuming its gold) that I want to
sell and the hallmarks stamped on it. None of the jewellers I've visited
recognise them, but as I know it was probably bought in New York by an
ex-girlfriend, I was wondering if that might be where it came from. Does
anyone know where I might be able to look up the marks, then I know what =
to
ask when I finally sell it.

Its a very narrow ring, about 1mm in width, very light, about half a =
gram,
with a pattern that looks like raised crosses around it.

Can anyone help here?

There's a little blue paperback book out there somewhere called 'The =
Guide
to Gold Marks of the World'.

And I can't tell you who wrote it because I can't find the damn thing...

I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

In general, why won't you give it to a jeweler to run gold purity tests
on it? Whoever buys gold jewelry would probably not settle for the
hallmark only and would like to see some more evidence.
In your particullar case, I am not sure you are going to find a gold
hallmark on your ring at all. In my country (Israel), law requires
jewelry items above 2 grams to be hallmarked and stamped with the
designer/manufacturer name/logo. Also, the 0.5 gram ring you have
contains small amount of gold and unless you sell it to someone who
loves the design, its value is very low. Does it worth the trouble?
Good luck,
