UK Hallmarks by: Anonymous
Lisa - about your markings:
HA is the maker's mark - probably Atkin Brothers - Henry Atkin, UK 1841 -1920s. It should be in a frame. The crown and 22 are standard marks and each should appear in a square frame. The numbers and the crown stand for 22 carat gold and was used as a gold hallmark, in the UK (England, Wales, N. Ireland, Scotland) from 1844 -1974.
Good luck with the rest of the marks.

Interesting hallmarks - more questions about the hallmarks by: Anonymous
Hi Lisa
sounds like a very interesting family hierloom ring. Is the crown above the HA? If yes this would be part of the maker's mark. Another quick question/s - is there a frame around the letters, i.e., square, rectangle? is the head in profile, male or female? Luv to know what stones too. Thanks
