    Part of it looks like the Greek gamma beta.

    We did think we saw wax. The wolf, or whatever, kinda looks odd. We thought the symbols in the front were possibly Russian?? It’s so small we thought it was a woman’s ring.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It doesn't seem Russian to me, but one never knows. Seems more likely to be Greek, because of all of the organizations that use Greek lettering. As Bronwen mentioned, the letters could be the Greek gamma and beta.

    Would you confirm that's "Constance" inside?

    But then wouldn't the "B" be backwards????? (Doesn't mean they wouldn't use it as one!!) Might be a fairly substantial pinky ring!!

    The letters are very much Cyrillic but in this particular case I cannot relate the ring to anything familiar. And this crescent after the letters is not typical, too.

    Bearing in mind that Cyrillic alphabet is half Greek, the other half being newly invented symbols adapted to the Slavic sounds, it can well be the Greek letters Gama and Beta indeed, as suggested by Bronwen and Fig, and related to some fraternity, especially in view of the inscription in Latin inside the ring.

    No, it was acid tested to 18k. He didn’t have 22k
