Well I thought at first it was Roman then changed my mind to North African but then I took a look at the writing which to me looks like a logogram (chinese or Japanese) so I had a look at the jewellery from there and while this is by no means identical, I think you can see the stone setting (entrapment) is similar. Just another idea to throw around and maybe a new avenue of search.

Post by: Chef Geoff on January 26, 2012, 09:32:26 PM That one is obviously new and it would appear that dating could be tricky unless your an expert as this one is only 60 years old but to my untrained eye looks ancient :-\

Title: Re: Un-identified Ring...Any Ideas ? Post by: Zeus (Joel) on January 26, 2012, 09:50:08 PM Thanks Geoff. I posted your comments to them so we will see where it goes now.
Here's the link if you'd like to see what's been said about it. They have contacted a couple of museums over here and they had no idea either http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/index.php?topic=2600.0 (http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/index.php?topic=2600.0) Title: Re: Un-identified Ring...Any Ideas ? Post by: ysbytymike on January 26, 2012, 10:20:59 PM Nothing to back this up but it has the look of the type of jewelry from the Southern Countries of that region.. (Aztec in Mexico or Inca in Peru)..
