gold ring

I have a lovely gold ring, but I am unfamiliar with the stamps. It is stamped 63.5 and either 333 or EEE. is anybody familiar with these stamps?
 
Thank you. Yes, 333 is 8 K, however I am unfamiliar with the 63.5, and if viewed from the same direction as the 63.5, the 333 becomes EEE. I'm confused. Thought I found 8k gold, but not sure.
 
I think 63.5 refers to the size, Inner Circumference (millimetres). 63.5(mm) = UK size: U. See chart below.....

Okay... Thanks! This has been bothering me. I am familiar with most Euro, American, and Russian markings, but this had me stumped. I went to a jeweler, and apparently the stone is ruby, but they didn't recognize the stamps. This helps! Lucky find!
 
Wow. If that was a stamp for the original size somebody sized it down considerably! The size now is US 5 3/4 or six. Approx 16.51 mm. This is getting more interesting. I love jewelry, especially old pieces.
 
Thats a beauty ring Man:clapping:..looks like a high grade deep burmese ruby, did the jeweler say anything about the quality of the stone?...a little mystery too...:thumbup: Nice find!

She just said ruby. When she realized I wasn't shopping she lost interest. It is a pinkish red, with alot of sparkle. It is very similar to my other ruby, which is an antique piece of European provenance. very good find!
 
Ruby will glow bright red in UV light. Simply put under the UV light and watch the stone glow like gangbusters...
 
Only bad thing is that 8k is not legally considered gold in the good old USA, 10 k is the lowest purity for gold in the USA.
