Featured 18k gold ring

The year letter (not a jewelry guy...is the letter on the right the year?) may be a "B" davey.

Looks like there is a lower 'counter' (the area of a letter that is enclosed by the letter):

 

1885 would be my guess. I was looking at Sheffield marks and one came up for 1845, which is more in keeping with the style of the ring.

 

Just want to say, I LOVE the ring! Is that its original ring box also?

 

It sure could be.

 

Often called Gypsy set rings. It may have been resized which may explain marks on the band. Nice find!

This is the Chester gold date marks page I found. 1885 I think.

 

It may be called a "gypsy"set ring ,but it isn't..It has bead set stones in an engraved star pattern... https://www.gemporia.com/en-us/learning-library/terms/gypsy setting/

 

Sweet piece, make sure you include the box when you sell it

 

Wow, fabulous find Dave

 

Gorgeous ring, Davey. I agree, 1885, which is more in keeping with the style. The original box will add to the value. And Chester is rare, just like with silver.

Have you looked at those rubies with a UV torch (flashlight)? If they light up like these, they are likely to be Burmese, highly valued:

There is none that I know of. The silver sites are mainly set up for and by collectors of silverware, not jewellery. Jewellery collectors have to spend money on goldmark books like Tardy or Divis.
But with UK marks you're in luck, hallmarks and date letters are the same for silver and gold.

I'm with Holly, these stones are not Gypsy set. With Gypsy setting the stones look like currants sinking into a batter mixture.

 

Best thing is to buy a pocket copy of Jacksons or Bradburys.

 

Beautiful ring Davey ... Great Find !!! ... Joy.

 

Ah well, still a beautiful ring. Could be Indian ruby.
