{"product_id":"antique-1903-hallmarked-9ct-gold-plain-wedding-band-ring-size-r-or-9","title":"Antique 1903 Hallmarked 9ct Gold Plain Wedding Band Ring \/ Size R or 9","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautiful antique 9ct gold wedding band, fully hallmarked for London in 1903. Crafted in a lovely mellow rose gold tone, typical of the Edwardian period, it has a softer, warmer appearance than the brighter rose gold alloys commonly used today. This elegant ring is a wonderful example of the understated wedding bands of the era. Beautifully simple, its clean lines and warm gold tone allow the quality of the craftsmanship to speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally chosen to mark a marriage more than 120 years ago, this ring carries a quiet sense of history. Its timeless design remains just as wearable today, whether chosen as a traditional wedding band, stacked alongside an engagement ring, or worn alone as a meaningful everyday piece. The slim profile makes it particularly comfortable on the hand, with softly rounded edges that glide effortlessly onto the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its original London hallmarks and over a century of history behind it, this is far more than a simple gold band. Dated to 1903, it may hold particular meaning for someone with a connection to that year - a family story, anniversary, or other significant milestone. There is something especially moving about a wedding ring that has already marked a lifetime of commitment, carrying its own history before becoming part of yours. More than 120 years after it was first made, this lovely gold band remains every bit as elegant, wearable, and relevant today. It is a genuine Edwardian wedding ring, ready to begin its next chapter as a future family heirloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICS:\u003cbr\u003eSize: UK R, US 9 (a large finger size). \u003cbr\u003eHallmarks: Fully hallmarked, reading; 9ct Gold, London, 1903. 'RH' makers mark\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.3 grams\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 3 mms wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn very good antique condition, with light surface wear commensurate with age. At some point during its long history the ring has been professionally resized, leaving a small section at the back of the band in a slightly more yellow toned gold than the original mellow rose gold. This is subtle and not immediately noticeable when worn, and simply forms part of the ring's history. Should the ring ever require downsizing in the future, this section could likely be removed as part of the resizing process. This ring has been professionally cleaned and polished, it's ready for a new life of wear as a wedding ring or stacking ring.
