Fully stamped with British hallmarks and date letter Q for 1965, confirming its age and place of assay.\u003cbr\u003eThe lion has long symbolized courage, nobility, strength, and royalty, worn throughout history by rulers, generals, and those of high social standing. This lion, crowned as the \"king of beasts,\" doubles down on that symbolism representing authority, dominance, and leadership.\u003cbr\u003eSignet rings themselves date back as far as 3500 BC, when the people of Mesopotamia used cylindrical seals as marks of authenticity. Ancient Egyptians attached seals to rings, worn by Pharaohs and other important figures to signify their status. The word \"signet\" comes from the Latin signum, meaning \"sign,\" and such rings were worn by royalty and notable figures alike as a personal signature or symbol of family heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS \u0026amp; MEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Metal: 18K Yellow Gold (Verified by Auracle Tester)\u003cbr\u003e- Ring Size: UK G \/ US 3.5 \/ EU 45 (Note: The ring is resizable within reason)  \u003cbr\u003e- Gross Weight: 8.5 grams\u003cbr\u003e- Ring Face: 11 x 11.8 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHALLMARKS \u0026amp; APPROXIMATE PERIOD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Hallmarks: Crown, 18 for 18K gold fineness, Anchor, Date Letter \"Q\" for the year 1965\u003cbr\u003e- Era: Vintage, Circa 1965\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Overall wonderful, pre-owned condition, with some superficial surface wear and patina typical for its age.
