I have a question about a few Judith Ripka hallmarks Ive never seen before. I've been a happy QVC Barbara Bixby and Judith Ripka jewelry collector and admirer for a couple of years now. Most of the Judith Ripka pieces I've seen from QVC are hallmarked "Judith Ripka 925 CZ". I've also come across the Judith Ripka Two pieces marked with a U or horseshoe symbol. I just recently came across a few pieces marked with a heart symbol and the other with the letter D in a circle. Has anyone else seen these marks and know what they mean? If a Judith Ripka piece has a heart or encircled letter D hallmark are they authentic Judith Ripka jewelry? Thanks so much for any help and info!

@LoveQVCBling2000. Hi!  I noticed your post and wanted to consult an expert on the matter of Judith Ripka hallmarks, and I was advised that, "Those markings are all authentic Judith Ripka markings. We use different symbols in much of our couture product as a guide for our product development team internally. We are familiar with all except for a D in a circle, that doesn’t ring a bell."

I hope this information helps you.

Have a great evening.

Thank you very much Jersey Born! I appreciate the info. A friend suggested the encircled D might be an international symbol? Like a piece made for customers in Europe. I can't confirm that anywhere online so the encircled D remains a mystery. Thank you again!
