A 22 carat yellow gold wedding band of plain D-shape form. The band is constructed from solid high-carat gold and features a polished finish to the exterior. The interior of the band is struck with a sequence of British hallmarks, beginning with the initials H B M in three individual rectangular punches. This is followed by a crown symbol, the number 22 inside a rectangular frame with rounded corners, and an anchor symbol representing the Birmingham Assay Office. A final shield-shaped punch contains a character that is not clearly legible as a date letter. The ring is accompanied by a handwritten card tag.
Weight: approximately 6.09g.
Condition report:
The ring is in good overall condition with signs of wear consistent with age and use. The exterior and interior surfaces exhibit numerous fine surface scratches and minor pitting across the gold (photo 2). The hallmarks remain clear and legible with the exception of the final date letter.
