✅ SOLVED Silver ring

Anyone come across one of these. Found in Australia. From the web I think it was made from part of a silver spoon? Inside diameter is oval and about one inch at its widest.
Thanks

Nice find Terry.
As you mentioned, likely the top of a teaspoon that was broken and re-purposed.

Appreciate all the replies... I found this in a fresh water river about 10 years ago, at the time I thought it was too good for the melting pot. I've done a quick clean and the detail is amazing and hardly shows any signs of being worn much. A pity the original Company stopped trading in 1905... Who knows when it was turned into a ring..
