A single 9 carat yellow gold signet ring featuring a central rectangular polished black stone, possibly onyx. The stone is held within a rub-over setting, further detailed with a decorative milgrain border. The gold band is of medium weight, measuring approximately 4.39 grams on the scale. To the interior of the shank, the piece bears a full suite of British hallmarks including the ‘375’ purity mark for 9 carat gold and an anchor symbol for the Birmingham Assay Office. A maker’s mark and a date letter are also present but show signs of wear. The ring is a UK size T to T½.
Condition report:
The ring is in good overall condition with wear consistent with regular use. The gold surface displays light, uniform surface scratching and minor indentations throughout. The hallmarks on the interior of the shank are slightly rubbed but remains largely legible. The central black stone is intact and secure in its setting, with no visible cracks or significant chips, although there is very minor wear to the edges of the gold setting. The shank remains round and shows no evidence of previous resizing or distortion.
