Mid-Victorian 22k Gold Wedding Band Size:6.5 with diamond-set flower accents andDATE: Victorian, 1861 A rare and near perfectly preserved mid Victorian wedding band dating from the 1860s. The hallmarks tell us it's crafted in 22 karat gold (the crown and the 22), and was guaranteed at the Birmingham assay office (the anchor) in 1861 (the letter M). And that's the basic anatomy of an English hallmark: metal symbol, fineness number, assay office symbol, date letter. The other two stamps on this ring WS are the maker's mark.
