Any idea where I can sell it, it belongs to my father, he got it as a gift from a very rich business man.

I would get the $200KYes I mean 1 million dollars, I got an offer from a guy in UAE with 200K$ that what made me believe its worth more
The best way to know what you have is to find a knowledgeable appraiser and see the true value of what you have. I was making a general comment for myself, but based on what you shared about missing stamps, even if the piece is a brand ring, it may be challenging to prove it. That said, nothing is impossible. Do you know how large the center stone is, even if you can just measure the diameter, that would be helpful, do you know any of the other specs?so you advice me to sell it with the $200k ? , is it worth it or more ? where i can check.

Split the difference and sell it to him for $500K...Yes I mean 1 million dollars, I got an offer from a guy in UAE with 200K$ that what made me believe its worth more
If someone offered you $200k, they either know something about the design you don't, or, the money is not a big deal to them. A buyer from UAE may have the funds necessary to buy what they like, without regard to the "value". The stones are not large or rare enough by eye to justify that price by weight. So, it must either by the buyer's preference of the designer. You lack any providance for the ring and it lacks stamps to definitivly tie it to a designer. You lack any way to tie it to the origional wearer that could confer great value. So, you need to find someone who can tell you that history and document it, if it exists. A lot of men's designers use channel setting and repeared liner features.
You could try to contact one of the Sotheby's jewellry specialts, to get a referral to a specialist (http://www.sothebys.com/en/departments/jewellery/specialists.html). You could also contact David Atlas (https://datlas.com/) to see if he can refer you to an appriser with expeirence with contemporary designer jewellery. You don't just want the valuation to be based on the stones and metal, you are seeking to find if there is something important here.
Thanks , i will try to contact them and see what they will say about it ..
Great. You might at least take it to a jeweler and see if they can find any stamps. Most stamps are on the inside of the shank, but some additional stamps may be tucked into odd areas. Like I said, it reminds me of Charles Krypell, as his designs has a lot of channel set stones and asymmetry. But, even an authenticated Krypell would not confer such a great value as you have been told.I am going back home next week i will try to look deep for more stamps , hopefully there are more than the 18K , when i took pics i didn't really look deep for stamps , will see then update here.
