Antique Victorian 22ct Gold Wedding Band · Birmingham 1864 · Size 4.25

A beautiful Victorian wedding band dating to 1864, crafted in rich 22 carat yellow gold. At more than 160 years old, this is a wonderfully simple piece of jewellery with a remarkable amount of history behind it.
 
The band has a softly rounded, comfort-fit profile and measures approximately 2.35 mm wide. Its warm, buttery colour is characteristic of high-carat gold, while the surface retains the gentle marks and patina acquired through generations of wear. Rather than detracting from the ring, these small signs of age give it the character one hopes to find in an authentic Victorian wedding band.
 
The interior carries a lovely set of British hallmarks, including the crown and 22 gold standard marks, Birmingham anchor assay mark and date letter corresponding to 1864. The maker's mark appears to read S.H.
 
Its understated design makes this a beautiful antique wedding band, stacking ring, or a special piece to wear every day.
