Hi,
Patient is a virtue. I believe it read F 21 perhaps for fineness 21 karat
See;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fineness#Carat
The number 4 could by a ring size

Re: gold hallmarks
Wow,thanks a bunch!
One more question ,If F21 4 is written ,is there a chance my ring is actually 18k?

Re: gold hallmarks
Hi,
If written 21 K, not hallmarked i.e gold standard not tested by official body like assay office, yes your ring could by 21 K. Your local jewelry shop most likely can test the gold standard/fineness.
