Egyptian style detailing?

[leesa]

This ring has no markings, doesn’t tarnish and has these little details of black and green. Can anyone help me identify the age or even what the inlay is?
Thank you so much!!

That’s so pretty!! It’s hard to tell from the pics. Can you tell if the green/black are stones or possibly enamel? If stones, the black is very likely onyx.

I believe it’s enamel! I know it’s antique, but no idea the time period.

The colored bits around the bezel look more like inlaid stones than enamel to me. The fractured/chipped areas suggest a thicker material than the enameled finishes I’m familiar with. But as kgizo said, it’s hard to tell from pictures.

It appears to me that your ring is from the Art Deco period (1920's), I base this on the stone size, surrounding enamel detail, use of green and black enamel, and additional embossing on the sides as well as the wear noted on the mounting. The central stone may be carnelian or a good substitute. If there are markings inside the shank, they would provide further clues.

Your observation that the ring has elements of Egyptian revival styling seems accurate. the discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1923 was a sensation and greatly influenced jewelry styles.

Thank you! For your observations! Unfortunately, there are no markings.
