<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 10217658, member: 18081"]Hello all! I have tried figuring out the date letter of this 9ct Birmingham hallmarked ring until my eyes have gone crossed. The "T" is either late 1700s, 1943 (or possibly Victorian but less close in style to that T mark). It's a little confusing because I think that although the date letters are the same as silver markings, I think that the surrounding shape may be slightly different on gold. I had assumed when I bought it that it was either Victorian or Edwardian but now I'm not so sure! Is it from the 1940s in an older style? I had also hoped the stones might be rubies or garnets and emeralds but alas they are paste. Still a pretty ring though! Any help with dating it would be very much appreciated, thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]510673[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
