9 Carat Gold Monogrammed Signet Ring ~ Circa 1930
A delightfully chunky gentleman’s signet ring in 9 carat gold, tipping the scales at 4.1 grams and carrying partial Birmingham hallmarks. The design is a curved edge hexagon face with wide knife-blade shoulders.
The face is engraved with a stylised intertwined “W” and “B”, executed in an elegant period script. Antique monograms were often chosen for their aesthetic appeal as much as their literal initials, so modern wearers need not feel constrained by the letters themselves – they become part of the ring’s history rather than a prescription for who may enjoy it. In everyday styling, the engraving simply reads as an Art Deco flourish, adding character and individuality.
Inside the band sit clear Birmingham assay marks for 9 carat gold, together with the maker’s mark "J H", likely for James Harrison & Sons of Tenby Lane, Birmingham. The result is a thoroughly English signet ring with all the hallmarks of quality: solid gold, excellent weight, and that unmistakable early-20th-century style.
