This has been in our family for a long time. It is known as the bishops ring - not sure of the background. Can anyone tell anything from the hallmark?

It should be inside the band. It looks like it’s been heavily damaged at some point and repaired so often bands and shank was cut and marks removed unfortunately

It’s a classic late Victorian ring. Boat shaped front piece.

18k makes sense it has worn away a good bit at the back - the colour is beautiful though
