    Sorry for the lack of polishing, but gives you an idea. The ring tests as sterling, almost wondering if that center part might be gold? Is the gold part a symbol for something? Just trying to find similar to get some keywords. Thanks for taking a look.

    Not sure which side is up:

    or this way?

    Kind of interesting texture inside the ring:

    Homemade,sloppy soldering of the "gold" insert and professionals usually don't make that much of a mess with a ball burr on the inside of the ring.

    Thanks for taking a look. This is the only other photo I have of the inside, maybe shows better.

    Why would there be this texture inside? Just part of the design or is it some part of construction?

    To reduce the amount of silver needed to cast the piece.
