According the person I bought it from , it is a ring from the 40-ties , but imo. it could be later......
Marks; � 333 � and � H 10 � . The stone is about 20 x 16 mm , so it's a big stone and nicely placed in it�s setting.

backside...the stone is transparent....

marks 333.... H 10

What kind of stone could it be?

On the rear the stone is kept on his place by a kind of pitch ; the contour of the pitch is visible through the stone .

333 is a gold content. Very low, less that 10k. Thats o.k. on a mans ring as it was longer wearing.Also good on a older lets say wartime ring when gold was used very sparingly..

The piece in the cartouche is more than likely Carnelian,,also popular wartime ...

Very nice ring..,G.

Gaspare thank you for your reply.

Thanks Kim .

I like the little differences in color of this Carnelian. The way of engraving of the "F" is that the middle arm comes from behind to the front before the "B"; it has suggestion of depth . The upper arm of the "F" not .
Is there more known about the preference of the Nazis for brown = braun ( Braunshirts, Braunes Haus, main Headquarters of the Nazi Party in Munich. ) like this Carnelian-stone because it is brown ?
Cheers,

Here is a carnelian cross my mother gave me before I went to England in 76. Carnelian only comes from the middle east. And was popular for ornamentation going back before Jesus's day. Your ring may have a Indianna Jones twist. If it was for a TR person.

Thanks for showing this Carnelian cross.
