    This site would suggest that its platinum from 2011 https://theassayoffice.co.uk/help-with-hallmarks/anatomy-of-a-hallmark

    A jeweller would know much more about this

    950 in that 5 sided tent shape is platinum.
    925 is sterling silver.
    (I'm a goldsmith.)

    The other parts indicate what assay office stamped it and who the maker was. In Ireland I don't think they use the year letter anymore in jewellery. Think you can request it specifically to be added but only on plate pieces (like bowls or chalices etc, not on earrings! )

    I'm not sure what that assay office mark is, but it's not Dublin. Could it be a rose? That would be Sheffield. Might be an assay office outside Ireland or the UK, they might follow a different convention.
