I Got a New Chunk of Gold, a Gold Sovereign Ring! (ツ)

Got it a couple of weeks ago off the bay! I know most members on this forum wouldn't wear coin jewelry but that's okay with me, I will. It's a bit gaudy but I don't mind, it's not a ring I'm gonna wear every day but I'll wear it when I don't mind looking ostentatious! This ring was made in Great Britain, and the shank is only 9k gold but that's okay there's nothing wrong with 9k. I mean I'd rather have 14k and that's what the seller listed on his ad but I decided to keep it anyways, here it is. Fits really tight, it's a size 7, maybe it was made for a lady, I still don't care, I'll wear it proudly!

Nice ring! A jeweler can size that up for you, won't cost much.

 

Looks very nice and it fits your finger. Just don’t grow or put on some weight.

 

I would be sure to tell the jeweler it is 9-10k gold, as the shape of the finger hole is quite asymmetrical in thickness and the thin part will be under the most stress to spread and may crack. IMO, Jim

 

Yes, the jeweler will know right off that it's 9k cause it's stamped 375. I think the seller knew it was 9k as well but like I said he listed it as 14k. I wrote to him and I told him I would keep it anyways, he didn't respond back so I think he knew what he was doing in the first place. I don't think I'll get it sized though cause I won't be wearing it that much. Here's the sellers pics, the sides of the shank look pretty strong in hand, I tried to get a pic the 375 as well, tough area tho'!

 

Hi, With respect the colored o-rings you usually rest your coins on is IMO jarring and detracts from your pieces. Please find another background that is more neutral. Thanks,Frank

 

I like it !! two thumbs up

 

Do you know your hallmarks?

 

I try, but most of the information I get online.
