Featured Egyptian St George Ring

Hi, this ring was given to me by my late Egyptian grandfather in Cairo. I am trying to make out the markings, but I can't tell. I have no intentions of selling it or anything like that, I'd just like to know what they mean. It looks like: ٨, then a bird, then a hook or a sideways J of sorts

let me know your thoughts! Appreciate the help.

 

I have another piece that came from him, here it is as well.

 

The bird is the ibis for gold, the fineness is 18k, and it was assayed in the city of Kennah, which I believe is now part of Cairo.

 

The pendant is more of a souvenir type, based on hieroglyphs.
It is also 18k gold, and it looks like it was assayed in 1982.

 

Thank you very much for the identification!! You made my day.

 

I am glad I could be of help. Both are good pieces with a nice gold fineness, but the ring is the star. And a beautiful memento of your grandfather.

 

Those pendants were quite popular in the 80s, I believe you could make them spell anything you wanted. I don't know what this one would mean.

 

Yes, you could have them made with hieroglyphs matching the sound of your name. The other ones are just decorative gibberish though.

@mcy94 I found this site where you can check if yours has your name in hieroglyphs:

OP is probably long gone, but for the benefit of anyone who lands here seeking info on Egyptian marks & designs...

The right hand mark on the ring is a date letter, which looks to be consistent with the date on the coin (if I'm making it out correctly), early 1940s:





The design on the pendant is one I have seen a great many times, so not likely to be a name. I suspect it is more like Good Luck or some such wish for the protection of the wearer.
