[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1644109, member: 2844"]The stippling on the inside means it was made after 1960-70. Someone may have to correct me on that, but it is not very old. The triple tulip motifs on the sides symbolize the tree of life. You see this triple tulip motif from northern Europe all the way to India. I suspect the design on the ring face is also a tree of life design, but more stylized. The scrollwork around it is also pretty generic. So all in all it is pretty difficult to pin down the origin. Maybe you'll find a similar one with a reliable provenance some day.[/QUOTE]
