Purchased from a French antique shop. (Estimated) Late 19th to early 20th century (around 1900) Likely a European-made signet ring type antique. Moreover, it's not just for decoration, but a personal ring with initial/family crest-like meaning. ① Design Analysis The "S" on the face The typeface is neither Roman nor Gothic Close to hand-carved, with slightly distorted curves The engraver's quirks are evident, not machine-uniform → Characteristics of the pre-mass production era This "S" is Either the initial of an individual Or the initial of a family name or organization. The arabesque (arabesque) on the sides Asymmetrical Uneven depth Natural wear → Cast (casting) + hand finishing → Seems like late 19th century to early Edwardian ② About the Material (Important) Judging from the color and wear Mainly silver However, not pure SV925 **Possibly low-grade silver (800-900)** Reddish-brown color → Higher copper content Common composition in France, Germany, and Austria The significant wear on the inside is also Proof that it was actually used for a long time. ③ Age Estimation Combining the elements: Element Judgment Hand-carved-style initial Around 1900 Asymmetrical arabesque Late 19th century Wear on the inside Long-term use Size Men's signet 1890-1910 fits best ④ Which country is it likely from? Highly likely: France Germany (Southern) Austria ↑ This is just a personal opinion. Thank you for viewing. Ring size...Approximately size 12.5 (Japanese size)
