A yellow gold signet ring, possibly 9ct gold featuring a shield-shaped head and a tapered shank. The face of the ring is decorated with a deeply engraved cursive monogram, appearing to read the initials PLB or RLB. The interior of the shank bears a series of struck hallmarks, some of which are unreadable within rectangular and square frames. These include a crown symbol, an anchor, and a lowercase letter q. assayed in Birmingham. A visible join line at the base of the shank suggests a previous resizing.
Weight: 4.15g.
Condition report:
The ring displays visible surface wear throughout, including fine nicks and scratches consistent with age and regular use (photo 1). The engraved monogram on the head shows significant smoothing from wear (photo 1). The shank exhibits a visible join line and slight thinning at the lowest point, indicating a previous professional resize or heavy wear (photo 2). The hallmarks remain clear and legible.
