ESPO is for the jewelry-making family of Joseph Esposito. If it also has "SIG" for signature, this is specifically for the latest generation Joseph Esposito. Otherwise, it's likely for an earlier generation, as old as 1910, when the family first opened their business. A previous reviewer said the 1950s. That may have been when one of the Espositos was born but was not when the business opened. To determine its age, I suggest a vintage/antique jewelry specialist. The older marks also look just that. Older. Usually, a lot more wear and an irregular stamp, as if made by hand. I know these things because I've researched and sold many of both the older and newer. You can find more details on the Esposito history in an online search.

espo was the company that made it. 925 means sterling silver.
Are you sure it is fspo? ESPO is the name of a vintage jewelry company. I see it on many gold filled rings.
10kt gold filled refers to a layer of gold that is at least 10 karats thick, bonded to a base metal, making it more durable and affordable than solid gold. Sterling espo likely refers to sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver, often used in jewelry. The term "espo" could be a brand or designer name associated with pieces made from these materials. Together, they indicate high-quality jewelry that combines the elegance of gold and silver.
When these markings are stamped on a ring 18kt HGT ESPO, HGT stands for heavy gold electroplate meaning the ring is gold with a small amount of 18kt. ESPO is the jewelers stamp, in this case Joseph Esposito of Esposito Jewelry.
what does it mean when your sterling have hab on it
As I understand, it is actually two parts; The 1st part, GE (Gold Electroplated) and the 2nd, ESPO (The Maker/Manufacturer) ESPO manufactured this jewelry in the U.S. during the 60's and 70's, Now Making this Specific type of Retro jewelry somewhat valuable.
18K HGE = 18K Heavy Gold Electroplate = plated and not solid 18K gold ESPO = maker ESP) is Esposito Jewelry whilst ESPO/SIG = joseph esposito
Not Really
Sterling silver
It's a designer of affordable jewelry. Espo, or ESPOSITO was the jeweler's name beginning in the 1950's. A solitaire clear stone isn't a diamond, but a zircon. Zircon is a natural gemstone that is very close to diamond in hardness. Has great clarity and reflects beautifully is cut correctly. It's not a fake.
