Silver and amber ring inscription

Hello its been a while since ive been here and I apologize for not having more photos. i took the photo late last night . Im not sure if its antique or vintage, but wondering if anyone know what this writing is.

 

Reeves, does your ring have any marks?

no there's not any marks, its hand made

 

Arabic calligraphy my best guess.

 

Heres more photos, quality might not be the best at Carmax buying a new car

 

I looked on Ebay searching "Arabic script ring", and found a few different ones. Asking prices ranging from $89-$600. The highest one was in a 14K gold setting. One auction described it as a "prayer ring", but no idea if that is what yours is.

Compared to the Ebay ones, I have to say I like the design and look of yours even better. If you know anyone who reads Arabic, might be a start.

 

after doing some research I'm starting to suspect it might be a antique Persian ring. check out this link. Its not the exact ring, but closest I've found so far

Look into aqeeq/aqiq rings.

 

figured it out. its a Islamic ottoman seal silver ring

 

How did you determine Ottoman? Just curious.

 

And Islamic? Were you able to verify the calligraphy as religious text?

Lovely ring. It is silver and carnelian btw, not amber.
The use of carnelian makes it likely that it is an Islamic aqeeq ring.
The carnelian could be Yemeni, the most valued type of carnelian, because according to some sources the prophet Muhammad is said to have had a Yemeni carnelian ring. This doen't mean that the ring was made in Yemen, carnelian was, and still is, exported.
There is nothing about the ring that indicates an Ottoman origin. Ottoman is one of those terms that is often thrown into listings to attract buyers. It is best to ignore it.
