Kind of because not a military/organizational ring. If the photo was flipped I think it looks like a portrait in there [small photo in ring],so it could be a momento mori type ring?


The woman's ring could be a gemstone with layers: Camee ; made of stone or shell... the design is after the Classic Roman rings. The face of the woman in the ring is "strong aside", like that kind of rings have. Also See the classic hear style. The head fills completly the ring. I tend think this ring is a Camee .

If it's a momento mori ...., so far I understand is it, an object , a memory picture a deceased beloved one.
Here just for showing with this jewelery pin of the 20ties.

Cheers,
Benten
