Need help IDing markings on this ring -three "diamond rings" stamped inside band

Found this ring at a "pre Civil War" house. I'm not sure it's all that old though, since the oldest coin I found was only a 1942 wheat cent.

My guess is that it is brass judging on how dirty it was originally, although there's a 1% chance it could be 10k gold or so (going to get it tested tomorrow to be sure). Stone was missing when found.

Inside the band, the only markings are what looks like three connected rings with stones. Hopefully the pics show it well enough.

Any idea what it means? Thanks in advance for your input.

Good catch Breezie!'
It's the Rosebower trade mark of 3 interlocked rings manufacturered by M. B. Bryant & Co., Inc. 136 W 52nd Street in New York. They were active in the 1930's. You can see an image at the below webpage.

Thanks guys for the info! Very cool.

I had it tested today and it's gold! She wasn't sure on the overall purity because she tested three spots and got three different karat readings - 10k, 14k and 18k

It only weighs .8 grams, so gold content doesn't really make much of a difference anyway.

Good news all the way around!
