Lonna and Kelci - After a bit of research, I've discovered that an engraved U with an arrow through it is the manufacturing mark of Uncas company, which produced rings and other premium jewelry from the 1920s through the 1960s.

To Lonna: I recently found a ring, though I'm not sure if it belonged to my aunt or my grandmother and I have no way of asking as they are both dead. The ring in a simple silver band but it has the same engraved U with an arrow going through. I was also wondering what it was. Have you made any progress in finding out?

Ours are both engraved with the date of our first kiss and the words "and forever" with a little heart. We designed our own rings, and I really reccomend it. It's a beautiful bonding thing to have made them together, and you get a piece of jewelry that you love the look of as much as you love the sentiment of.

Lonna - If you mother-in-law cannot answer that question (presumably she'd know if it was engraved, or someone close to her would), it could be a manufacturing mark. The quality of gold would be listed with a "K" (for karat), but it could be a sentimental engraving that has worn away with years of cherished wear.

Question: On the inside, my mother-in-law's wedding band has an engraved U with an arrow going through it. Is this a symbol of a company, quality of gold, or an "I love you" engraved?
