It looks more like an upside-down capital C.

I agree it’s a “C”.

This list makes me sad. Senseless killings.
(Holly Grim was found. Her killer awaits trial. )

I think Holly was left in NamUs because not all of her remains were found.

Three years later Michael Horvath was arrested for allegedly stalking, torturing and killing her after some of her remains were found at his Monroe County home.
Trial for man accused of killing Holly Grim delayed until later this year

Same thing with Cheka Alvarado. Her foot was found in a sneaker washed ashore in Ocean City. No other remains found. She's still in NamUs: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Ah good point. I hadn't thought of that.

I wonder about Cynthia Lori Perry. I think I submitted her but can’t remember. Would need to dig back.
 
It may not even be her initial, the ring could have been passed down from a grandmother or aunt. She could have bought them at a flea market, etc. I wouldn't place too much value into the lettering on the ring being directly linked to her name.

True. I have a sterling silver bangle bracelet that came in a lot I purchased with "love Jim & Alma" engraved on the inside. I have no idea who they are, but it's a lovely bracelet.
 
So how do you explain the other "JO" on the engagement ring?
Or the prongs on the signet ring...where would a jeweler put them...on the bottom or the top?
The other ring engraving looks to me like a "Jesus fish" and not like letters.
Anything can be stamped on the inside of a piece of jewelry. I imagine it is the ring creator or a reference to the gold.

A guide to what jewelry stamps and what they mean
