Featured dainty lil knot ring

hi folks

something else i found in a chazza this week, was priced at £5 in a cabinet, so someone obviously thought as well it might be something better than costume

again no hallmarks, and was very tarnished all over, hoping this one has some age as well, but unsure

nor familiar with the design or type but the knot is interlinked and moves slightly not like a fixed knot

any thoughts or info on age and design appreciated

 

Very sweet little ring. I think it is 19th century, but let's wait for the others.
And have it tested.

 

cool thanks Aj , will do so, haven't got the other ones checked yet so will get them checked all together

 

I think early nineteenth and gold. Nice thing.

 

awesome thanks Obb

i've given up testing fluids at home, especially the acid ones, as the last time i tried the bottle bust open/disintegrated when i squeezed it and went everywhere. all over my face, neck etc

the bottle was about a year old and had gone cloudy inside so that was probably why

didn't cause any lasting burns or anything as i shot into the shower but quickly stained a wood floor white

was more freaked out than anything else as you can image

 

their thinking of creating a bbc sitcom about my life called 'some mothers do ave em'

 

I have to ask...... did you 'palm ' it ??

This company is calling it a Lovers Knot, no beginning and no end. Looks very similar to yours?
Lovely find, I really like finding the Charity shop items with no hallmarks, always interesting to learn about them.

very helpful, thanks house. that ones looks about twice the size but lovers knot looks right

yeah thank god some of the older stuff isn't hallmarked else it wouldn't be in a charity shop i guess

 

I was thinking 1840 or so, and also gold. My g-g-grandmother's ring has similar 'sketchy' engraving and it dates from ca 1840. (It also has a nasty stammer.)

 

You gotta love it when the marks are illegible or missing altogether, and the shop thinks it's costume. Then again I'm wearing a brass ring with fake 18k marks, so...
