[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 621109, member: 13534"] What an interesting little ring! If it doesn't have any other marks on it apart from the WHE, then it wasn't put through an assay office to be hallmarked, and that's often where the Markers Mark is registered for us to find it online today. I didn't have any luck finding WHE anywhere, which suggests to me that it was possibly made here before access to a government assay office was available to them to properly hallmark and register it, that they have to do by law if they were selling it. That also suggests it was possibly made by the person who wore it, or gave it to their sweetheart to wear, and was never up for sale. I think that is potentially quite an old ring, and your mate should definitely have a museum or antiques jeweller check it out. Keep us informed on this story please. I'd like to know the outcome! :) Cheers, Megsy [/QUOTE]
