Hi can someone please tell me what the engravings on this ring are?
OPT are the initials of the Jeweler who made the item. 375 is 37.5% Gold or 9K. The anchor on it's side means it was made by a Jeweler in Birmingham, England.
What kind of stones are these? Thanks in advance
Easy... 375 is the hallmark for 9 ct Gold and DIA means the jewellry has a genuine Diamond inset :)
9ct - 375
If the item has clear stones in it, cz stands for cubic zirconia (a semi-precious stone), where as 925 is a hallmark for silver not gold. 9ct golds hallmark is 375.
A 375 marking is a gold marking; it indicates 9K gold. You can find this by multiplying .375 by 24 (since there are 24 karats in pure gold). Visit the link below for more details about gold markings.

375 is a gold hallmark that indicates 37.5 % pure gold, or 9 karat (also spelled carat, but with gold this is a measure of purity, not a weight measure as used with gems.)
It's probably 375 meaning it's 9 carat gold
375 Gold filled usually means that the bangle has been made hollow with 9ct (375)_ is the hallmark for 9ct. Then filled with a less expensive material like silver or copper to add weight and strength but without the added cost of a solid 9ct bangle.
325 hallmark is not a standard hallmark and it is not 9 karat. It might be that it is 32.5% gold inside. 9 karat gold has a hallmark of fineness 375. 8 karat gold has a hallmark of fineness 333.
DSC is the stamp of the sponsor, or maker. The crown is the stamp of the assay office that assures the quality of the material. The crown might me a castle, which would inidicate that the ring has been stamped in the Edinburgh assay office. The number 375 shows that the ring is made from 9 carat gold.
375 is 9k gold.
375 is 9ct gold.
