European Gold Hallmark Question: I recently purchased a ring from a local antique store whom purchased the ring through an estate auction.

Hallmark: A History of the London Assay Office

Price: $55.00

Its band is a very soft (light) yellow gold color. It has a hallmark of P531.

I have looked up as much as I could find, and all I can find is what 12kt and 14kt numbers are in European hallmarks.

So, if this is an European hallmark, than it seems it would be about 13.5 part gold, but I can’t seem to find anything that states there is such a gold combination.

I have also seen the letter markings stating the years in could have possibly been made in, but the “P” text does not seem to match any that I found.

The “P” is also not enclosed in a box. Any help would be so appreciated.

Thank You!… Continue reading European Hallmarks...
