Anyone able to help me identify the "J^S" markings on this gold ring? It might be/stand for "JNS" or "JAS" or maybe the"^" in between the J and S is symbol for "&" , is this the jeweller? Or no, it means something else? And if so, kindly please explain and help me end the search to what feels like a yellow brick road to no man's land :) Many thanks!

The 575 means 14k gold and the JAS is the company that made the jewelry. Here is some info on JAS:
JAS is a Viennese jewelry and accessories brand. For more information please visit my website - jasjewelry.com
Marks on items made of metal are called hallmarks.
Unfortunately, your ring only has the carat (575 - 14 ct) and the manufacturer's mark. I found an identically looking brand, but they told me they didn't make your ring: www.etsy.com/
In US, there is no strict requirement for marking jewelry. Therefore, I am sure that your ring is made in US. I looked through a catalog with the most famous jewelry manufacturer, but there is no mark like on your ring. And since Assay Offices in US are not involved in hallmarking, as there has never been a hallmarking scheme in the US, it will be almost impossible to find the manufacturer of your ring.
All you can do is take your ring to a good jeweler to determine the quality of your ring's gold and maybe price of it.
The 575 is 14 karat gold. The JAS is the manufacturer.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell about marks on jewelry as the mark may not have stamped completely and parts of a mark do not show.
The 575 is clear and means 14K gold.
The easiest way to find an answer to your question is to take the ring to a pawn shop and ask about the brand and value. You have to ask about value or they may not help you.
