X Marks the Ring

by Karren Sorrells
(Staunton, VA, USA)

This is a family heirloom ring handed down for at least five generations from eldest daughter to eldest daughter. It appears to be 10K gold and family oral history claims it originated in England and was custom ordered for the first bride who wore it.
The ring is a wedding band decorated with carved baskets of flowers. The only mark of any kind on the inside of the ring is: XXXX. I would appreciate any information anyone can supply about the origin, age, or goldsmith who make the ring.
