Featured Turquoise ring unknown makers mark - help needed

Hi everyone,

I have this ring that my mum doesn't want anymore and she has passed on to me and it has a makers mark on it which I can't find anything out about and wondered if someone may be able to help and tell me more about it?! The ring has clearly been re-sized at some point in the past too, as there is a clear cut in the band and the metal here is a different colour from the rest of the ring. I don't know where the ring has originated from either, or anything about it, so any help would be great, thanks.

 

Good looking. Can’t help but IMO not from the Americas. Guessing N Africa or Mid Asia.

What is in the rectangular mark? It may help figure out where it was made.

 

It was probably cast flat and then bent to shape, sized and soldered. The mark from the solder inside is probably original. I don't even want to think about resizing a ring with a stone as fragile as turquoise.

 

Nice stone. The style is generic modern, so difficult to pinpoint a part of the world. The mark in the rectangle looks like Arabic script. If it is, I would guess made in the Middle East somewhere.

 

A country like Uzbekistan in Central Asia does indeed manufacture a lot of modern style jewellery, and turquoise is one of the favourite stones of the region.

 

Good to know it may be Arabic in the rectangle, as I had tried to figure out what it was but was coming up blank as I hadn't seen any of the marks before and never thought of that one.

Great to know the solder is likely original, I haven't come across that before and it's always interesting to know about other techniques of jewellery making.

Thanks everyone for your replies and help.
