Hello,
Would you please help me to identify this ring?
I think it was made in Denmark, c.1900.
But I couldn't find any reliable evidence for that.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi JayKat!
This is a french ring.
The guy with the helmet is Minerva. ;-)

Hi, Luci! Thank you for telling me your excellent view.
Now I'm able to do some more research.

Pretty ring, but have to say, to my eye, it doesn't appear to be Scandinavian or have any great age, if you will google Ellen Myrtle Navajo sterling, a couple of examples should pop up, one of them using the same 8-petaled floral decoration. Suspect that your ring may have been exported at some point, but don't really have the time right now to investigate any further.....

Hi, Cheryl!
Thank you very much for your very penetrating remark.
It seems I must reconsider my idea.
I'm glad that I should know of Navajo jewellery.
