My guess is that it is indeed the initials of the original owner. Monty

Nahhhhh, it isn't a signet ring, must be an organization. It is also stamped, STERLING OFFICIAL.

GR can stand for Grand Rapids according to Wiki and the inverted triangle is a symbol for water, as in flowing down, so I'm saying it's a Grand Rapids, Michigan ring

This is all i can find on it....Globalise Resistance, a UK anti-capitalist group
Alpha found someone that found similar jewelry 2 years ago...interesting.

I found some jewelry with the letters GR inside a triangle. What organization is this from?
I recently found a pin, a ring, and a bracelet all with the same symbol on it. It's a triangle, with GR inside of it. Says OFFICIAL on the back - my husband thinks it's English. Someone else thought it was a YMCA pin? Any info appreciated!

I've searched the YMCA sites and haven't found that logo anywhere. So basically we are still stumped!!! I'm going to try and figure this one out!!
