Best Answer

The hallmark for jewelry indicates the person who made the jewelry. Every designer has their own hallmark. You will often see numbers by a hallmark such as 925 which means it is sterling silver or 14k, 18k etc which indicate the amount of gold in the jewelry. Hope this helps.

What does a head profile and the letter s on a gold piece of jewelry signify?

It sounds as though it could be part of a hallmark. In English hallmarking a letter would denote the year of hallmarking but it depends on the style of the letter; upper or lower case; block type style; italic? The full hallmark would usually have more information. For example, the assay office, the carat of the gold assayed. If your item of jewellery is a ring and has only a partial hallmark, then it might have been sized (larger) and the hallmark lost.
