Looking at it Chantal I don't think it is too old. It doesn't seem to be precious metal, I can see some peeling. It's certainly unusual with the ring split. Shame we'll probably never know it's history.

my gut feeling is late georgian to early victorian iv not seen anything similar and with the split to adjust the size. even the romans gold plated rings and made them adjustable i just have a feeling its late georgian early victorian the o is a bit ornate maybe thats the clue if anyone knew about alphabet styles.

Title: Re: ring Post by: chantalpoole on April 01, 2014, 12:20:28 AM The ring looks silver in the photos due to flash but is gold coloured ,we thought it was gold until we cleaned it up a bit its def gold plated , the top circle is brass coloured

Title: Re: ring Post by: Dryland on April 01, 2014, 11:47:23 AM Ah in that case, I'd say 20th Century gold plated ::)
