Answer: G'day and many thanks for your query.
Do you mean a stamp 'pl' on the metal part of the jewelry or do you mean 'p1 (p with a one)' on the appraisal documentation or grading certificate?
If it is a stamp in the metal it could mean there is some Platinum in the ring (like the setting) OR it could simple be a design or model ID mark.
As I can't see it, you are going to have to take it to your local FRIENDLY jeweler and have them take a look at it.
If you are talking about a p1 in the diamond grading - it means the gemstone is graded as 'Pique1' which graded the inclusions (clarity) of the diamond.
You might like to look at our Diamond Gemstone eBook at:
http://www.golden-books.com/books/diamonds/
which will explain the grading, color and cuts of gemstones too. As it is only $7 bucks it is well worth having the information on your desktop for future reference.
You might also like to add this query to my blog at http://how2valuejewelry.com/ as other may have had a similar problem. Can't hurt anyway and who knows what answers you may get.
Hope this helps...
