How can I tell how old my ring is?
To tell how old your ring is, look for markings that indicate its maker. By looking up the hallmarks in trusted online resources, you can determine who produced the ring and when the maker was active. From there, you can examine images of similar rings to narrow down the date of production. Alternatively, you can enlist the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer for an expert opinion on your piece's age.
