Help identifying a ring.

[beau3131]

Hi, i'm new to the forum and keen to discover the history of a ring I found. I'm from Australia and found this ring around 20 years in a rock pool off the Victorian Coast. It's been laying around in a box since then and I recently found it again when cleaning up and wanted to know where it may have come from. I can only see one small marking, but not able to make out what it is. Hoping someone on here maybe able to help. Cheers

I can't quite tell from the pictures but it looks like it's stamped .925, which means it is sterling silver, or 925/1000 parts silver, the rest being an alloy of usually copper to strengthen. The 925 sterling standard was adopted in 1878 in the United States.

You must polish this up! It will come up a treat!
