The other day I found this 1934 10K gold class ring in the bottom of a river. I'm trying to find out who made it. Thanks for any input. Here is the backmark:

You probably already know about the High School, but,
I turned your image upside-down & found the logo for West Philadelphia Catholic High Schools, & it shows that it was established in 1916 for boys, & 1927 for girls. You can probably tell by the size if yours is a boy's or girl's ring.
That being said, I found the link to a company that made class rings for Philly high schools that go back over 100 years. (Dunham Manufacturing)
Maybe if you contact them with an image of your ring, they might be able to help you, or steer you in the right direction to another rival manufacturer of 1934.
Congrats on a great find & best wishes for success in your search for the Goldsmith ID.

Nice ring. Looks like the maker mark should be readable if you could provide better pictures. From enlargement/enhancement of what you provided, I can see what is possibly a copyright symbol followed by a letter 'J' and then a space followed by a six-letter name beginning with an 'F' and with 'L' as the last letter. I don't think the mark after the 'L' is another letter, but just a mark.
