Interesting Ring Identification

[yodelghost]

Hello all and thanks in advance for any help with this...

This ring has been in my family for a while. Have no idea where it came from and have wondered what it is. I've looked online and haven't found anything like it as of yet.

If you search Art Deco intaglio ring on eBay you should see some similar rings. This style was pretty common then, the raised carving is called an intaglio and they often depicted Roman warriors etc

The stone looks like tigers eye to me.

These were very popular in the 20s-40s. My grandfather had 2 of them.
One had a tiger's eye stone similar to yours.
