You will first notice the gentle sloping soft facets on the band that disperses the light nicely. The hand engraving designs with the swirly fans will make you want to peer in quite close. The light makes those hand engraved designs melt in temporarily through an optical illusion, but don't you worry the design continues on both of the sidewalls too. The color is not too orange, but deeply rich thanks to the 22k gold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI did several hallmark checks to be sure, this is hallmarked for 1941. Highly unusual as it was during World War II, a year that marked the end of the Blitz (a tragic bombing campaign led by Nazi Germany that tested the morale of UK citizens) and the year when the USA was brought into the fold of the war. A year after in 1942 was when 22k gold wedding bands were restricted in the UK and utility wedding bands were produced as an effort to consolidate resources during World War II. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing size: 5.6 (it is sitting above 5.50 but under 5.75).
