Message:: [QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 4592801, member: 18081"]Hello everyone! Won this lovely ring at auction, I did pay up a bit for it. It was listed as 10K but is actually 18K which was a nice surprise. I knew that it looked older but when I looked up the marks it says hallmarked in 1814 - is it really that old?) The marks are crown 18 anchor q). I had thought Edwardian perhaps. The maker's mark is HW Ld which I can't find anywhere, any ideas? Also, the sapphire in the middle appears to have a crack and a little chip out of the other, does that detract from the value a lot? All info appreciated! Apologies, the pics aren't great, hard to photograph rings.[ATTACH=full]408062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408064[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408068[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]408069[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
