Who would wear this?And how old could it be?

[snakeitg]

I found this at an old home site.I do not know what kind of metal it is or if the stones on the face are real.It is very heavy.I wonder if it was a ring for a certain organization or club.The home on this site was late 1800's to mid 1900's.Anyone ever seen one like this before?

Hope you don't mind, but I cropped and enlarged your image a bit

That is one ugly ring? Is it a ring? Is that suppose to be Jesus?

Nice find though!

Re: Who would wear this?

Yes,it is a ring.I will post a picture of it on its side.

Re: Who would wear this?

Are there any types of markings inside? I've never seen a ring like that before. It appears to be an image of Jesus on it, to me anyways.

Still a nice find. Wish I could help more, but I have no idea about it...but with the vast knowledge of folks on here, someone is bound to know!

Boy! If either mastereagle or baldingboy had that,they would wear it and make the other one kneel and kiss it before they started on a night hunt.

Possible that it is handmade one of a kind

Don't think it is supposed to be Jesus. Looks like a piece of Egyptian Revival jewelry from the 19th century.

That was my initial thought....but I still think it's an image of Jesus.

Well I am sure that when the ring was new it was not so ugly Ron and Ann. Its darker now but would have been shiny and bright, especially with the stones. Pity its not made out of gold, then they would be diamonds and everyone would praise you much more. I am not sure if its not silver, but very tarnished. I have seen so many patina's on silver, it depends upon the soil conditions. If silver it could be diamonds in any case.

I am also not sure about the face being Jesus, it looks more like to me an English king, like those on the English silver coins....But could be wrong with everything also!

 

[Gypsy Heart]

I think it looks more like an king also

I agree.

 

[BuckleBoy]

Well that's not something you'd give at a Bar Mitzvah.

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Maybe a medieval saint

Looks like he has a broken nose Also where the nose looks broken off the metal almost looks like what I would call "pot" metal. Maybe it is just how it looks.

Nice drooping Mustache........

I don't think Jesus, but will go along with Middle Eastern perhaps and not too old of a ring, late 1800's at best.
