Gold petal shaped with blue stones diamond centre by: Anonymous
I recently received a ring which my mother had given to my friend, over 40 years ago..it belonged to my grandmother I believe. The ring as you look directly down has a double layer pointy petal effect..8 points each layer..grooved design..on top of those are 8 blue stones..around a diamond..I believe.. Inside the band are the stamps…W & G 9 375 anchor and a W
Any insight on year it was made..and worth…I can’t find any pictures that look like it.

I too have a ring with W&G 9 .375 Anchor S. I contacted Wilson and Gill (Now known as Hester Clarke) and they kindly informed me that my ring was made by a company called Wyatt & Green, a manufacturer based in Birmingham who are no longer trading.

Wyatt & Green, not Wilson & Gill by: Michael
Hi there everyone, hopefully this comment is seen.
I'm Michael, and I currently run Hester Clarke, a jewellers that is the continuation of what used to be Wilson & Gill.
We have been getting quite a few people contacting us who have purchased rings that are being described as Wilson & Gill rings, and there seem to be a few circulating the auction sites that are erroneously attributed to us, and this thread seems to be the source of confusion. Unfortunately these rings weren't made by Wilson & Gill, but were likely made by Wyatt & Green, a manufacturer based in Birmingham who are no longer trading.
Generally speaking, if the W&G mark is stamped in the ring and not part of the assay mark, it was likely made by Wyatt & Green and not Wilson & Gill. Anything dated after 1967 is definitely not Wilson & Gill, as the company had stopped trading under that name. The anchor is also the symbol for Birmingham, whereas most of our work was made in London.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion, especially for any second hand dealers who are searching for information on the W&G hallmark.
Kind regards, Michael

The Year Will Help A Bit by: Ellen
Hi there
sounds like a beautiful old ring. What date did you pin down the maker too? This will help as certain eras in jewellery history preferences certain stones, I guess due to fashion and availability makers also had their favourites. Good Luck with it - I love pale bleu stones like aquamarines that haven't been irradiated. Most modern stones have been color enhanced sadly. Blessings

W&G ring by: Anonymous
Hello, I’ve got this W&G ring then it has a crown then next to that it says 375 then it looks like a sidewards anchor then a curly D. The whole ring has a white stone in the middle then around it 8 blue ones. I would be great full for your help.
Most likely: Wilson & Gill please read the thread

Good Evening Emma
hope you are having a great weekend in sunny Leeds!
I can't see the initials inside but the ring looks old
W & G are British Jewellery Manufacturers
1. Wilson & Gill - SILVERSMITHS & RETAILERS London from 1892 to the Present.
2. The Lion in the ring is most probably the Lion Passant for Sterling Silver UK - on .925 STERLING SILVER - ca 1831 - Present 1831
*The Lion Passant is the walking Lion with his right paw raised and all the others are on the ground.
3. Anchor - possibly registered the mark in Birmingham?
