Topic: Caithness ring, for show.

I'd agree, that is R16. (well sleuthed!) But Linda's ring is quite different.
There are no Edinburgh marks on Frank's page. They're all Birmingham, London or Sheffield.

Edinburgh is mentioned in the earlier link though, Sue https://www.ysartglass.com/PaulYsart/PYP5over.htm where it says CJ stands for Cox Jewellery not Caithness Jewellery. Although it's a bit confusing as this para says

The first manufacturer was Cox Jewellery based in Birmingham, hence the Birmingham hallmark on the earlier pieces. Hallmarks can be used to identify the various manufacturers of the pieces: London — Booty Jewellery (1968-84); Edinburgh — Scotia Jewellers and Lochinver Silver; No hallmark — Stratton Jewellers. Stratton made cufflinks, tie-pins and pendants. A range of silver boxes were produced by Orkney silversmith, David Hodge, only a very small number were made.

and this one says

Caithness Glass outsourced the silversmithing, although CG, Caithness Glass, is Caithness Glass’ own registered sponsor marks. Other sponsor’s marks seen are CJ, Cox FG and on a silver box DJH. Assay office marks used were Birmingham, Edinburgh, London and Sheffield. See the end of this article for details on these marks.

I haven't been able to find any other mentions of Cox Jewellery, Scotia Jewellers, or Lochinver Silver as yet which is a bit odd.

Yet the link I found for silversmith marks says CJ stands for Caithness Jewellery, not Cox.

I did note a full stop after the C, but not after the J   ->. 
I can't find a scrap f anything about a Scotia silver maker - just hallmarks and historical dodgy dealings.
I do not remember any Scotia Jewellery shops in Edinburgh.
The posh modern one was Ian Clarkson.
I believe his son runs it now.

Thanks all for the info' nice to be able to put names, dates and places to a piece for a change

Here's another, can't make out the hallmarks but it does look like the Edinburgh mark, in too awkward a place to photo and very worn.

[chopin-liszt]

It also looks like proper, chunky "Edinburgh '70s silver design." 
Another goodie.

Not trying to hijack Keith's thread, but this has lead me to identify a pendant I bought  some time ago.
Thanks to having the jewellery part of the Ysart website pointed out to me I now know it's a Caithness item made by Frank Guest in Birmingham in 1979.
I did try to photograph the hallmarks but with no great success.
Hope this adds something to the debate.

Nice piece, my better half would like that
