Hallmarked in 1855

This is the jewellery repair I am hoping to eventually do. I need more practice with the soldering. The ring is hallmarked in Birmingham- the anchor denotes this. The stone is a bloodstone. When you are researching a hallmark you always need to consider the style of the item. The letters are repeated every 25 years but in a different style. I've seen a lot of bloodstone and cornelian stones in Victorian jewellery so I think 1855 is right. The 9 means 9 carat gold which is 375 parts of gold per 1000 parts of metal.
