I caught the low tide today and found this stunning 1902 Art Nouveau, 14K 15.5g ring. My pictures didn't come out that good and don't do it justice. 3 1/2 hours in the water, mostly junk and scrap metal. This is one of my top 10 pieces.

The initials look to me like T A C. Very nice ring!
This might be a first for me. I was showing it to my son in law. he took one quick glance at it and said there’s two separate sets of initials on it, They are separated by a ”+” sign. I've never seen that before.

Your last pic is upside down. I’m a gun engraver trained in Italy. Your monogram is T A C, except the A is cut above the other letters. So A would be the family name and TC the individual.
