Looks Victorian to me! Congrats. Is it silver? HH, Dave.

[Nesdore]

I don't know if its how would I know its not shiny or anything

the ring does look old maybe around 1900 , silver can come out looking very black to drabby grey sometimes too.

I agree. It looks like a old discolored silver ring to me.
Look inside the band, it should say STERLING in there. It might say .925 too.
Usually the older items are marked STERLING.

Nice old find!
Congrats on scratching another first off of your list!

How would i clean it?....I don't see any markings inside the band so I don't know but its cool looking thanks for all the feedback

on scratching off another from the 1st list. You can clean it by taking some baking soda and adding very little water to make a paste. Just rub the paste on the ring.
