Pure Gold, Pure History Antique 22ct Yellow Gold Wide Plain Wedding Band British Hallmarked Size N

There is gold, and then there is 22ct gold. The difference is not subtle — it is immediate, visceral and unmistakable. This pre-loved antique 22ct yellow gold wedding band carries that extraordinary depth of colour that only 91.6% pure gold achieves, a warm, burnished richness that no lower carat gold can replicate and that only deepens with age. Wide, plain and beautifully proportioned, it is a band that needs nothing but itself to be magnificent.

British hallmarked in the early 20th century, this ring carries the full suite of antique British hallmarks — the maker's mark JFP in a shield, the sovereign's head duty mark, the crown fineness mark and the 916 purity stamp confirming genuine 22ct gold. These marks represent the most rigorous hallmarking system in the world, applied by the British Assay Office with a precision and authority that has remained unchanged for centuries. Yes, this is real gold — 22ct yellow gold, 91.6% pure, fully and beautifully hallmarked.

At 4.37g this ring has a satisfying weight and presence — the wide, flat profile giving it a bold, architectural look on the finger that is both thoroughly vintage in character and completely on-trend with the current appetite for wide gold bands. The flat court profile is slightly more angular than a traditional court band, lending it a clean, confident edge. It arrives in excellent condition, the gold warm and richly coloured throughout, the antique hallmarks legible and crisp.

Pre-loved across the decades, this antique 22ct yellow gold wedding band is a genuinely exceptional piece — the kind of ring that will outlast everything and only grow more beautiful with time. Beautifully gift wrapped and ready for its next chapter.

FAQ:

Is this real gold? Yes. This ring carries full British antique hallmarks including the 916 purity stamp, confirming it is genuine 22ct yellow gold — 91.6% pure gold. The hallmarks are clearly struck inside the band.

What makes 22ct gold special? 22ct gold contains 91.6% pure gold — significantly more than 18ct (75%) or 9ct (37.5%). This gives it a deeper, richer colour and a warmth that is immediately distinguishable. It is the traditional standard for British antique wedding bands and the mark of truly fine jewellery.

Is this ring genuinely antique? Yes — this ring carries full British antique hallmarks dating to the early 20th century, including the sovereign's head duty mark which was discontinued in 1890 for most metals but continued on gold. It is a genuine antique piece, not a reproduction.

Can this ring be resized? 22ct gold bands can generally be resized by a professional jeweller experienced in high-carat gold work. We recommend confirming with a jeweller before purchasing if size is a concern.
