[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11642928, member: 2844"]Ditto. Chrysoprase is found in Russia, and used a lot in Russian jewellery. Stamps on the outside of a ring band are not very unusual, and I have seen many Russian examples. I can't see any detail in the mark, but if it is a left-facing kokoshnik, it was assayed between 1896-1908. The modern looking setting could be influenced by Arts & Crafts designs. If the ring is indeed ca 1900, it was probably kept in its box during most of its life.[/QUOTE]
