Hi,
Would someone be able to tell me something about a ring which I have - it is a gold one first used in 1885 at a Sydney wedding. Inside the band is - J.H - 18c - a four petalled flower (hard to tell) - O.
Looking forward to hearing something of interest about the ring - particularly who may have made it.
Elaine

G’day Mavis and many thanks for your query.

The ‘X’ was used for Birmingham circa 1897 - if the letter was in italics.

It was used for 1922 with the corners cut off and a squiggly bit on the bottom and again in 1947 where the ‘X’ was in BOLD.

Again without seeing it, feeling it, testing and measuring it - these are just general observations.

Get it appraised by a qualified valuer and have a written certificate to prove it is what you think it is.

Hope this helps…
