Ok, so I do need help decipher that one... My guess is 18 ct (this I can actually read), London (probably) but what for the year? Is it an I or T or?! Thank you :)

I can't tell what it is either.
Can you get a few more photos from different angles?

I looked at the chart on this webpage:


It looks like a lower case italic "i" or "l", so I say it is 1964 or 1965

I tried a few more. I think it might be older, but not sure...

The shape of the stamp is clearly a rectangle with cut corners.
And the letter appears to be slanted with a serif on the bottom.
But yet the diamonds look like OMC, and the style screams late Victorian to me!
Hmmmmm

They are OMC and the setting is quite worn. Weird isn‘t it?!

Hi, @Roselina! That’s a precious ring you have there! I use this website to check hallmarks. And according to this site, yours has a London assay. An 18k ring doesn’t have “i” as a hallmark so that could only be a
”t“...1814 maybe??

The gold traders hallmark tool that @maita13 shared is great. It works well if you can identify the mark for where it was made. Yours looks like a shield, but I don’t see a similar shape on the site. If it helps my similar ring was made in 1874.

Thank you! Yes, our rings are similar, but yours is much finer in the making. Mine is smaller and maybe the little brother.
I think the shield is indeed the London lion, but very worn off. Just the shape of it is left. Then the shape of a crown with 18, meaning 18 ct. The letter is weird. If it‘s a T, then it would indicate 1814, which seems a bit early...
